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

backgroundNowadays, the combination of microRNA (miR) is attracting increased attention in clinical cancer trials. However, the clinical use of miR is highly limited because of certain properties such as instability, low-specificity distribution, and metabolic toxicity.

methodsIn order to improve the anti-tumor efficacy and reduce the side effects of miR in treating melanoma, a combination of graphene oxide (GO), chitosan (CS), and a cellular penetrating peptide, MPG, was prepared with solid dispersion method in this research. The research has analyzed the specific components of nano drug-loading complexes GO-CS and GO-CS-MPG through characterization research and confirmed the bio-safety of the carrier material GO-CS-MPG.

resultsThe GO-CS-MPG-miR33a/miR199a nano drug-loading complex was successfully constructed and its medical effectiveness was verified. Through the subcutaneous tumor implantation experiment, an evident effect of the drug-loading complex in inhibiting melanoma cells was proven.

conclusionResults suggest that GO-CS-MPG may have potential applications in melanoma therapy.
