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

The ability to label active caspase-3 represents a useful pharmacodynamic strategy to determine the efficacy of anti-tumour drugs. Activity-based probes (ABPs) provide a method for the labelling of activated caspases and the recent development of hybrid combinatorial substrate libraries (HyCoSuL) has allowed for the generation of highly selective ABPs to discriminately label these proteases. Here using this approach, a novel caspase-3 selective ABP (CS1) has been developed and validated in apoptotic cells to selectively bind caspase-3 over the closely related caspase-7. However, a critical bottleneck for ABPs is their cell penetrance and therefore this cell-impermeable CS1 probe was subsequently formulated into PLGA-based nanoparticles (CS1-NPs). We demonstrate the ability of these particles to be taken up by the cells and facilitate intracellular delivery of the ABP to effectively label caspase 3 in response to apoptotic stimuli. This work forms the foundation of a novel approach for the labelling of caspase 3 and may have downstream utility to measure real time apoptosis in tumours and other organs.
