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

A ligand decorated, synthetic polypeptide block copolymer platform with environment-responsive capabilities was designed. We evaluated the potential of this system to function as a polymersome for targeted-delivery of a systemic chemotherapy to tumors. Our system employed click chemistry to provide a pH-responsive polypeptide block that drives nanoparticle assembly, and a ligand (folic acid) conjugated PEG block that targets folate-receptor over-expressing cancer cells. These nanocarriers were found to encapsulate a high loading of conventional chemotherapeutics (e.g. doxorubicin at physiological pH) and release the active therapeutic at lysosomal pH upon cellular uptake. The presence of folic acid on the nanoparticle surface facilitated their active accumulation in folate-receptor-overexpressing cancer cells (KB), compared to untargeted carriers. Folate-targeted nanoparticles loaded with doxorubicin also showed enhanced tumor accumulation in folate-receptor positive KB xenografts, resulting in the suppression of tumor growth in an in vivo hind flank xenograft mouse model.
