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

Introduction of polymeric nanoparticles in cancer therapeutics is widely investigated since nanomedicine often enables the intratumoral delivery of drugs with increased efficacy with minimal side effects. In this study MRI monitoring was employed to study the therapeutic effect of nanocombretastatin (G3-CA4) in an orthotopic glioma model. Water insoluble combretastatin (CA4) was conjugated to a small-sized water soluble G3-succinamic acid PAMAM dendrimer. Nanoconstruct sizes were determined by TEM to be 3 to 5 nm. Intravenous (i.v.) delivery of G3-CA4 in an orthotopic glioma model produced a long-lived ischemia accompanied by necrosis at the core of the tumor but leaving a rim of viable tissue. In contrast, delivery of CA4 alone has no therapeutic effect in an experimental rat model of glioma.
