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

Annonaceous acetogenins (ACGs) are one of the most active constituents isolated from Annona species with potent antitumor activity. However, the poor solubility and severe side effect greatly limit their use in clinic. In this study, folic acid (FA) modified annonaceous acetogenins nanosuspensions (FA-PEG-ACGs-NSps) had been successfully prepared using DSPE-PEG-FA and soybean lecithin (SPC) as stabilizers. The resultant FA-PEG-ACGs-NSps had a mean particle size of 119.7 nm, a zeta potential of -23.0 mV and a high drug payload of 49.68%. The obtained ACGs-NSps had a good stability in various physiological media, and showed sustained drug release. Compared to common ACGs nanoparticles (PEG-ACGs-NSps), FA-PEG-ACGs-NSps showed significantly enhanced in vitro cytotoxicity against folate receptor-positive HeLa cell lines (IC50, 0.483 μg/mL vs. 0.915 μg/mL, p < .05), which could be effectively reversed simply by pretreatment of free FA. In vivo experiments demonstrated that FA-PEG-ACGs-NSps brought more drug molecules into tumors and greatly improved the antitumor efficacy (TIR, 76.45% vs. 25.29%, p < .001). Therefore, DSPE-PEG-FA is considered as a proper stabilizer with active targeting effect for ACGs-NSps to reduce toxicity, enlarge the safe dosage range and apply in clinic for the treatment of folate-positive tumors. Therefore, FA-PEG-ACGs-NSps may be a prospective drug delivery system for ACGs to improve their therapeutic window and find application in clinic to treat FR over-expressed tumors.
