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

Lymphatic metastasis is the major metastatic pattern of pancreatic cancer and considered as an independent risk factor of survival. However, there is still no effective way for the diagnosis and treatment for lymphatic metastases of pancreatic cancer. In this study, using albumin as a carrier of gemcitabine (Gem), further modified by pyropheophorbide-a, we have designed and synthesized a nanoparticle (NP) compound named "pheophorbide-a (P@)-Gem-human serum albumin (HSA)-NPs". By utilization of its tracer ability of lymphatic metastases, which is triggered by near-infrared irradiation and its visible dying ability, the compound is used for drug delivery tracking, meanwhile as a treating drug, as well as the combined effect of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy. By the nude mice model of lymphatic metastases of pancreatic cancer (BxPC-3-LN7), we aim to explore the feasibility, effectiveness, and biological safety of diagnosis and treatment for the lymphatic metastases of pancreatic cancer by P@-Gem-HSA-NP, thereby, providing new methods and strategies for the study of nanodrug carrier and research on lymphatic metastases of pancreatic cancer.
