Carbon Dioxide-Generating PLG Nanoparticles for Controlled Anti-Cancer Drug Delivery.
Article in Pharmaceutical research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposePoly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) nanoparticles containing doxorubicin and mineralized calcium carbonate were fabricated and their anti-tumor efficacy was tested using a neuroblastoma-bearing mouse model.
methodsPLG nanoparticles were prepared by a double emulsion (water-in-oil-in-water; W/O/W) method. Calcium carbonate was mineralized within the PLG nanoparticles during the emulsion process. Rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) peptide was chemically introduced to the surface of the PLG nanoparticles as a targeting moiety against neuroblastoma. The cytotoxicity and cellular uptake characteristics of these nanoparticles were investigated in vitro. Moreover, their therapeutic efficacy was evaluated using a tumor-bearing mouse model.
resultsMineralized calcium carbonate in PLG nanoparticles was ionized at acidic pH and generated carbon dioxide gas, which resultantly accelerated the release of doxorubicin from the nanoparticles. RVG peptide-modified, gas-generating PLG nanoparticles showed a significantly enhanced targeting ability to neuroblastoma and an increased therapeutic efficacy in vivo as compared with free doxorubicin.
conclusionsTargeting ligand-modified polymer nanoparticles containing both anti-cancer drug and mineralized calcium carbonate could be useful for cancer treatment.
