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

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial childhood tumor, and current treatment requires surgical resection and multidrug chemotherapy. Local, perioperative delivery of chemotherapeutics is a promising treatment method for solid tumors that require surgical removal. In this study, we have aimed to develop a controlled-release implant system to deliver cisplatin in tumor or tumor resection area. Silk fibroin, a biodegradable, nonimmunogenic biopolymer was used to encapsulate different doses of cisplatin in a reservoir system. The physical integrity of the reservoirs was characterized by evaluating the crystalline structure of silk secondary structure using FTIR spectroscopy. The in vitro release of cisplatin was evaluated in phosphate-buffered saline at 37°C, and the reservoirs were able to release the drug up to 30 days. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin and cisplatin reservoirs were tested on KELLY cells. Cytotoxicity data showed 3.2 μg/mL cisplatin was required to kill 50% of the cell population, and the released cisplatin from the silk reservoirs showed significant cytotoxicity up to 21 days. Intratumoral implantation of silk reservoirs into an orthotopic neuroblastoma mouse model decreased tumor growth significantly when compared with control subjects. These results suggest that silk reservoirs are promising carriers for cisplatin delivery to the tumor site.
