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

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are proposed to account for the initiation of cancer metastasis, but their accessibility remains a great challenge. This study reports deep tumor-penetrated biomimetic nanocages to augment the accessibility to CSCs fractions in tumor for anti-metastasis therapy. The nanocages can load photothermal agent of 1,1-dioctadecyl-3,3,3,3-tetramethylindotricarbocyanine iodide (DBN) and chemotherapeutic epirubicin (EBN) to eradicate CSCs for photothermal-chemotherapy of breast cancer metastasis. In metastatic 4T1-indcued tumor model, both DBN and EBN can efficiently accumulate in tumor sites and feasibly permeate throughout the tumor mass. These biomimetic nanosystems can be preferentially internalized by cancer cells and effectively accessed to CSCs fractions in tumor. The DBN+laser/EBN treatment produces considerable depression of primary tumor growth, drastically eradicates around 80% of CSCs fractions in primary tumor, and results in 95.2% inhibition of lung metastasis. Thus, the biomimetic nanocages can be a promising delivery nanovehicle with preferential CSCs-accessibility for effective anti-metastasis therapy.
