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

The chemotherapy of hematological cancers is challenged by its poor selectivity that leads to low therapeutic efficacy and pronounced adverse effects. Here, we report that doxorubicin encapsulated in lipoic acid-crosslinked hyaluronic acid nanoparticles (LACHA-DOX) mediate highly efficacious and targeted inhibition of human hematological cancers including LP-1 human multiple myeloma (MM) and AML-2 human acute myeloid leukemia xenografted in nude mice. LACHA-DOX had a size of ca. 183 nm and a DOX loading content of ca. 12.0 wt.%. MTT and flow cytometry assays showed that LACHA-DOX possessed a high targetability and antitumor activity toward CD44 receptor overexpressing LP-1 human MM cells and AML-2 human acute myeloid leukemia cells. The in vivo and ex vivo images revealed that LACHA-DOX achieved a significantly enhanced accumulation in LP-1 and AML-2 tumor xenografts. Notably, LACHA-DOX effectively suppressed LP-1 as well as AML-2 tumor growth and drastically increased mice survival rate as compared to control groups receiving free DOX or PBS. Histological analyses exhibited that LACHA-DOX caused little damage to the major organs like liver and heart. This study provides a proof-of-concept that lipoic acid-crosslinked hyaluronic acid nanoparticulate drugs may offer a more safe and effective treatment modality for CD44 positive hematological malignancies.
