Five-Part Pentameric Nanocomplex Shows Improved Efficacy of Doxorubicin in CD44+ Cancer Cells.
Article in ACS omega, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The CD44 receptor is common among many cancer types where overexpression is synonymous with poor prognosis in prostate, glioma, and breast cancer. More notably CD44 overexpression has been shown in a number of different cancer stem cells (CSC) which are present in many solid tumors and drive growth, recurrence, and resistance to conventional therapies. Triple negative breast cancer CSCs correlate to worse prognosis and early relapse due to higher drug resistance and increased tumor heterogeneity and thus are prime targets for anticancer therapy. To specifically target cells overexpressing CD44 receptors, including CSCs, we synthesized a pentameric nanocomplex (PNC) containing gold nanoparticles, doxorubicin (Dox) conjugated to thiolated hyaluronic acid via an acid-labile hydrazone bond, and thiolated poly(ethylene glycol) DNA CD44 aptamer. In vitro drug release was highest at 8 h time point at acidic pH (pH 4.7) and in 10 mM glutathione. The PNC is almost an order of magnitude more effective than Dox alone in CD44+ cells versus CD44 low cells. Functionally, the PNC reduced CSC self-renewal. The PNC provides a therapeutic strategy that can improve the efficiency of Dox and decrease nontargeted toxicity thereby prolonging its use to individual patients.
