EphA2 Targeted Doxorubicin-Nanoliposomes for Osteosarcoma Treatment.
Article in Pharmaceutical research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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.
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
purposeTo employ Doxorubicin-loaded liposomes, modified with YSA-peptide to target EphA2, to reduce adverse effects against primary bone cells and maximize toxicity against Saos-2 osteosarcoma cells.
methodsPEGylated liposomes were prepared by thin film method using Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), cholesterol and distearylphosphatidylethanolamine-polyethyleneglycol conjugate (DSPE-mPEG) in 67.9:29.1:3 M ratios, and loaded with DOX (L-DOX) by pH-gradient method. Targeted liposomes (YSA-L-DOX), were prepared by conjugating YSA-peptide to DSPE-mPEG. Liposomes were physicochemically characterized and tested in cellular toxicity assays.
resultsYSA conjugation efficiency was >98%. Size and polydispersity index of both L-DOX and YSA-L-DOX were around 88 nm and 0.188, respectively. Both had similar zeta potential, and 85% DOX loading efficiencies. DOX release kinetics followed the Korsmeyer-Peppa model, and showed comparable release for both formulations from 1-8 h, and a plateau of 29% after 48 h. Both formulations could be stably stored for ≥6 months at 4°C in the dark. Toxicity assays showed a significant 1.91-fold higher cytotoxicity compared to free DOX in the Saos-2 cells, and 2-fold lesser toxicity in primary bone cells compared to the Saos-2 cells. Cellular uptake studies showed higher and more nuclear uptake in YSA-L-DOX compared to L-DOX treated cells.
conclusionsYSA-L-DOX vesicles might be effective for targeted treatment of osteosarcoma.
