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

purposeA bifunctional RGDTAT peptide-modified PEG-PAMAM dendrimer conjugate RGDTAT-PEG-PAMAM (RTPP) was established for the targeted treatment of αvβ3-overexpressing tumor cells.

methodsThe RGDTAT peptide was synthesized and attached to PAMAM using PEG to construct the RTPP conjugate. The methotrexate (MTX) encapsulated RTPPM complex was prepared and characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and in vitro release. The targeting ability was then studied in cells and tumor-bearing nude mice using fluorescence microscopy, confocal fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and in vivo imaging. The cytotoxicity and pharmacokinetics of the RTPPM complex was also evaluated in cells and rats.

resultsThe successful synthesis of the RTPP conjugate was confirmed by

conclusionsThe bifunctional peptide-mediated dendrimer-based RTPP conjugate can serve as a promising nanocarrier for targeted drug delivery to improve anti-tumor activity.
