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

Despite the broad antitumor spectrum of cisplatin, its therapeutic efficacy in cancer treatment is compromised by the development of drug resistance in tumor cells and systemic side effects. A close correlation has been drawn between cisplatin resistance in tumor cells and increased levels of intracellular thiol-containing species, especially glutathione (GSH). The construction of a unique nanoparticle (NP) platform composed of poly(disulfide amide) polymers with a high disulfide density for the effective delivery of Pt(IV) prodrugs capable of reversing cisplatin resistance through the disulfide-group-based GSH-scavenging process, as described herein, is a promising route by which to overcome limitations associated with tumor resistance. Following systematic screening, the optimized NPs (referred to as CP5 NPs) showed a small particle size (76.2 nm), high loading of Pt(IV) prodrugs (15.50% Pt), a sharp response to GSH, the rapid release of platinum (Pt) ions, and notable apoptosis of cisplatin-resistant A2780cis cells. CP5 NPs also exhibited long blood circulation and high tumor accumulation after intravenous injection. Moreover, in vivo efficacy and safety results showed that CP5 NPs effectively inhibited the growth of cisplatin-resistant xenograft tumors with an inhibition rate of 83.32% while alleviating serious side effects associated with cisplatin. The GSH-scavenging nanoplatform is therefore a promising route by which to enhance the therapeutic index of Pt drugs used currently in cancer treatment.
