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 objective of this study was to evaluate intraperitoneal (IP) metronomic chemotherapy using sustained release paclitaxel (PTX) delivery from electrospun biodegradable polymeric yarns woven into suturable nanotextiles. Following confirmation of in vitro PTX efficacy in ID8-VEGF epithelial ovarian cancer cells, in vivo studies were performed upon surgical peritoneal implantation of nanotextile implants in orthotopic, syngeneic ID8-VEGF tumor-bearing C57BL/6 mice. In comparison to the clinical PTX-solution, there was a significant enhancement of anti-tumor efficacy and safety with PTX-nanotextiles. After 35-days, the peritoneum of tumor-bearing mice with PTX-nanotextiles was completely devoid of tumor nodules and ascitic fluid. Additionally, VEGF levels measured in peritoneal lavage fluid were 300-fold lower compared to PTX-solution and 600-fold lower as compared to untreated tumor-bearing animals. PTX-solution treated group also developed severe metastatic lesions and progressive ascitic fluid buildup. More importantly, no signs of systemic/ organ toxicity were observed in PTX-nanotextile implanted mice, unlike the systemic toxic effects induced by PTX-solution. Collectively, our results show the therapeutic and safety advantages offered by combining clinically translatable metronomic low-dose chemotherapy and IP pharmacokinetics using biodegradable nanotextile implants in addressing the challenges of late-stage ovarian cancer.
