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

In this study, taking into consideration the limitations of current treatments of glioblastoma multiforme, we fabricated a biomimetic lipid-based magnetic nanovector with a good loading capacity and a sustained release profile of the encapsulated chemotherapeutic drug, temozolomide. These nanostructures demonstrated an enhanced release after exposure to an alternating magnetic field, and a complete release of the encapsulated drug after the synergic effect of low pH (4.5), increased concentration of hydrogen peroxide (50 μM), and increased temperature due to the applied magnetic field. In addition, these nanovectors presented excellent specific absorption rate values (up to 1345 W g-1) considering the size of the magnetic component, rendering them suitable as potential hyperthermia agents. The presented nanovectors were progressively internalized in U-87 MG cells and in their acidic compartments (i.e., lysosomes and late endosomes) without affecting the viability of the cells, and their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier was preliminarily investigated using an in vitro brain endothelial cell-model. When stimulated with alternating magnetic fields (20 mT, 750 kHz), the nanovectors demonstrated their ability to induce mild hyperthermia (43 °C) and strong anticancer effects against U-87 MG cells (scarce survival of cells characterized by low proliferation rates and high apoptosis levels). The optimal anticancer effects resulted from the synergic combination of hyperthermia chronic stimulation and the controlled temozolomide release, highlighting the potential of the proposed drug-loaded lipid magnetic nanovectors for treatment of glioblastoma multiforme.
