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

Paclitaxel (PTX) is widely used as a radiosensitizer in the clinical treatment of cancer. However, the efficacy of chemoradiotherapy is limited by the hostility of the tumor microenvironment such as hypoxia. To overcome this constraint, we designed pleiotropic radiotherapy sensitized liposomes containing perfluorotributylamine (PFTBA) and PTX. The results showed that liposomes significantly accumulated in the tumor site. PFTBA in liposomes dramatically reversed tumor hypoxia and improved the sensitivity of tumor radiotherapy. PTX in liposomes blocked the cell cycle of tumor cells in the radiation-sensitive G2/M phase, which was even greater when combined with PFTBA. In vitro and in vivo tumor treatment further demonstrated remarkably improved therapeutic outcomes in radiotherapy with such biocompatible liposomes. In conclusion, the pleiotropic liposomes encapsulated PFTBA and PTX provide significant radiotherapy sensitization and show promise for future application in clinical medicine.
