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

Oleanolic acid (OA), which is a natural pentacyclic terpenoid, has been identified for hepato-protective, nephron-protective and cardio-tonic properties. In contrast, doxorubicin (DOX) is a famous anti-cancer drug but its efficacy is a question mark because of its known cardio-toxicity. We developed a combined nanoliposomal formulation of DOX with OA, as adjuvant, to overwhelm toxic effects of DOX without compromising anticancer activity. The entrapment efficiency and the particle size were brought in limit by the reengineered ethanolic injection method (REIM), without further extrusion. The developed formulations were stable over the study period of two months. A modified HPLC method was employed for the analysis of OA (drug retention time, Tr = 12 ± 1 min). The recovery of OA against spiked plasma samples was more than 90%. MTT assay showed anti-apoptotic synergism against HepG2 cells at non-fixed ratio (combination index, CI < 1). A sustained in vivo drug release of experimental drugs was depicted over 24 h. Histopathological examination and laboratory findings indicated no visible sign of toxicity in the treated mice group against combined delivery. Hence, this combined nanoliposomal formulation was tagged as a safer therapy for the DOX based cancer treatments.
