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

Monoclonal antibodies have deserved a remarkable interest for more than 40 years as a vital tool for the treatment of various diseases. Still, there is a raising interest to develop advanced monoclonal antibody delivery systems able to tailor pharmacokinetics. Bevacizumab is a humanized immunoglobulin IgG1 used in antiangiogenic therapies due to its capacity to inhibit the interaction between vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor. However, bevacizumab-based antiangiogenic therapy is not always effective due to poor treatment compliance associated to multiples administrations and drug resistance. In this work, we show a promising strategy of encapsulating bevacizumab to protect and deliver it, in a controlled manner, increasing the time between administrations and formulation shelf-life. Nanoencapsulation of bevacizumab represents a significant advance for selective antiangiogenic therapies since extracellular, cell surface and intracellular targets can be reached. The present study shows that bevacizumab-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles does not impair its native-like structure after encapsulation and fully retain the bioactivity, making this nanosystem a new paradigm for the improvement of angiogenic therapy.
