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

purposeInterpenetrating network system (IPN), consisting of polyethylene glycol (PEG) -diacrylate (PEGdA) and modified gelatin, is a biocompatible and biodegradable hydrogel and has been studied for the local delivery of bioactive molecules and drugs. Gold(III) porphyrin(AuP) is a stable metal compound in the development for anticancer application when administered systemically. The aim of this work is to develop a novel formulation for AuP based on IPN for local delivery.

methodsIPN loaded with AuP hydrogel was optimized and synthesized. Drug release kinetics, cytotoxicity against tumor cells, and antitumor activity in lung cancer bearing nude mice were studied.

resultsAuP released from the IPN followed a first order kinetics in vitro. The AuP loaded IPN showed higher cytotoxicity against human lung cancer cell lines compared to IPN only. In mice bearing human lung cancer xenograft, AuP loaded IPN inhibited tumor growth and reduced angiogenesis. No sign of systemic toxicity was observed for all treatment groups.

conclusionAuP loaded IPN provides an improved formulation over systemic delivery for tumor inhibition to complement surgical intervention. Graphical Abstract Injectable multifunctional matrix of polyethylene glycol and gelatin derivatives for the delivery of gold porphyrinto inhibit tumor growth.
