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

purposeIn the current work, we propose a combined delivery nanoplatform for letrozole (LTZ) and celecoxib (CXB).

methodsMulti-reservoir nanocarriers were developed by enveloping protamine nanocapsules (PRM-NCs) within drug-phospholipid complex bilayer.

resultsEncapsulation of NCs within phospholipid bilayer was confirmed by both size increase from 109.7 to 179.8 nm and reduction of surface charge from +19.0 to +7.78 mV. The multi-compartmental core-shell structure enabled biphasic CXB release with initial fast release induced by complexation with phospholipid shell followed by prolonged release from oily core. Moreover, phospholipid coating provided protection for cationic PRM-NCs against interaction with RBCs and serum proteins enabling their systemic administration. Pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated prolonged circulation and delayed clearance of both drugs after intravenous administration into rats. The superior anti-tumor efficacy of multi-reservoir NCs was manifested as powerful cytotoxicity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells and marked reduction in the mammary tumor volume in Ehrlich ascites bearing mice compared with free LTZ-CXB combination. Moreover, the NCs induced apoptotic caspase activation and marked inhibition of aromatase expression and angiogenic marker, VEGF as well as inhibition of both NFκB and TNFα.

conclusionsMulti-reservoir phospholipid shell coating PRM-NCs could serve as a promising nanocarrier for parenteral combined delivery of LTZ and CXB.
