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

An effective tumoral delivery system should show minimal removal by the reticuloendothelial system (RES), promote tumor uptake and penetration, and minimize on-site clearance. This study reports the design and synthesis of advanced self-assembling peptide nanofiber precursor (NFP) analogues. The peptidic nature of NFP offers the design flexibility for on-demand customization with imaging agents and surface charges while maintaining a set size, allowing for real-time monitoring of kinetic and dynamic tumoral delivery by multimodal fluorescence/positron emission tomography/computed tomography (fluo/PET/CT) imaging, for formulation optimization. The optimized glutathione (GSH)-NFP displays a reduced capture by the RES as well as excellent tumor targeting and tissue invasion properties compared to naive NFP. Inside a tumor, GSH-NFP can structurally transform into ten times larger interfibril networks, serving as in situ depot that promotes weeks-long local retention. This nanofiber, which can further be designed to release the active pharmacophores within a tumor microenvironment, displays a superior therapeutic efficacy for inhibiting disease progression and improving the survival of animals bearing triple-negative breast cancer tumors compared to free drug and liposome formulation of the drug, in addition to a favorable toxicity profile.
