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 aim of this study was to develop PEGylation liposomes formulations of erlotinib and evaluate their characteristics, stability, and release characteristics. The average particle sizes and entrapment efficiency of PEGylation erlotinib liposomes are 102.4±3.1 nm and 85.3%±1.8%, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy images showed that the liposomes dispersed well with a uniform shape and no changes during the storage. The in vitro drug-release kinetic model of erlotinib release from the PEGylation liposomes in phosphate-buffered saline fit well with the Higuchi equation. In vitro anticancer activity assay showed that the blank liposomes had lower cellular cytotoxicity and that the cellular cytotoxicity of erlotinib liposomes increased significantly under the same incubation condition, which should contribute to the increase in intracellular drug concentration by the transportation of liposomes. The two liposomes of erlotinib (with and without PEGylation) exhibited similar cellular cytotoxicity with no significantly different concentrations. Pharmacokinetic results indicated that erlotinib-loaded PEGylation liposomes can significantly change the pharmacokinetic behavior of drugs and improve the drug bioavailability by nearly 2 times compared to ordinary liposomes. No sign of damages such as the appearance of epithelial necrosis or sloughing of epithelial cells was detected in histological studies.
