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

introductionTimosaponin AIII (TAIII), as a steroid saponin in

methodsTo overcome this drawback, TAIII-loaded liposomes (LP) were prepared to improve TAIII solubility and extend its circulation time. Furthermore, anti-CD44 antibody-modified LP (CD44-LP) was prepared to enhance the therapeutic index of TAIII. The LP and CD44-LP were also characterized through their biological activity, target selective binding and uptake, and in vivo pharmacokinetics.

resultsCompared with free TAIII, both LP and CD44-LP possessed a desirable sustained-release profile in vitro, with ~14.2- and 10.7-fold longer TAIII half-life, respectively, and 1.7- and 1.9-fold larger area under the curve, respectively. LP and CD44-LP enhanced TAIII antitumor activity against HepG2 cells and in a xenograft mouse model without detectable toxicity. In particular, CD44-LP exhibited notably higher cytotoxicity than did LP, with a lower half-maximal inhibitory concentration (48 h). CD44-LP exhibited stronger tumor inhibition, and the tumor inhibitory effect was 1.3-fold that of LP. Furthermore, confocal laser scanning microscopy and in vivo near-infrared imaging of a xenograft mouse model revealed that compared with LP, CD44-LP could effectively enhance tumor accumulation.

conclusionTaken together, the results indicate that both CD44-LP and LP can considerably extend TAIII circulation time, increase tumor-targeted accumulation, and enhance antitumor activity. Thus, the anti-CD44 antibody-modified liposome is a promising candidate for treating CD44-positive cancer with considerable antitumor effects.
