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

Polymeric cyclodextrin-based nanoparticles are currently undergoing clinical trials as nanotherapeutics. Using a non-covalent approach, we decorated two cross-linked cyclodextrin polymers of different molecular weights with an RGD peptide derivative to construct a novel carrier for the targeted delivery of doxorubicin. RGD is the binding sequence for the integrin receptor family that is highly expressed in tumour tissues. The assembled host-guest systems were investigated using NMR and DLS techniques. We found that, in comparison with free doxorubicin or the binary complex doxorubicin/cyclodextrin polymer, the RGD units decorating the cyclodextrin-based nanosystems improved the selectivity and cytotoxicity of the complexed doxorubicin towards cultured human tumour cell lines. Our results suggest that the nanocarriers under study may contribute to the development of new platforms for cancer therapy.
