1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

PEGylated liposomes have transformed chemotherapeutic use of doxorubicin by reducing its cardiotoxicity; however, it remains unclear whether liposomal doxorubicin is therapeutically superior to free doxorubicin. Here, we demonstrate a novel PEGylated liposome system, named DAFODIL (Doxorubicin And 5-Flurouracil Optimally Delivered In a Liposome) that inarguably offers superior therapeutic efficacies compared to free drug administrations. Delivery of synergistic ratios of this drug pair led to greater than 90% reduction in tumor growth of murine 4T1 mammary carcinoma in vivo. By exploiting synergistic ratios, the effect was achieved at remarkably low doses, far below the maximum tolerable drug doses. Our approach re-invents the use of liposomes for multi-drug delivery by providing a chemotherapy vehicle which can both reduce toxicity and improve therapeutic efficacy. This methodology is made feasible by the extension of the ammonium-sulfate gradient encapsulation method to nucleobase analogues, a liposomal entrapment method once conceived useful only for anthracyclines. Therefore, our strategy can be utilized to efficiently evaluate various chemotherapy combinations in an effort to translate more effective combinations into the clinic.
