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

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hold great potential as drug delivery transporters given their large drug-binding surface area. Herein, we designed novel, multi-walled, discrete CNTs (dMWCNTs), PEGylated dMWCNTs (PEG-dMWCNTs), and bone-targeting (BT), alendronate-conjugated PEG-dMWCNTs (BT-PEG-dMWCNTs). Using zeta potential, thermogravimetric analysis, TEM, SEM, and FTIR, dMWCNTs were characterized as individual, uniform, and stable. Drug binding and release assays validated dMWCNTs as effective doxorubicin (DOX) transporters. The mass ratio of DOX loading onto dMWCNTs was 35% wt/wt with a ~95% wt/wt efficiency. DOX release was ~51% w/w after 48 hours. Neoplastic transformation, chromosomal aberration, and cytotoxicity assays, confirmed biocompatibility for all dMWCNTs. PEG-dMWCNTs were well tolerated and modulated drug pharmacokinetics in mice. In mice with Burkitt's lymphoma, DOX-loaded PEG-dMWCNTs and BT-PEG-dMWCNTs reduced tumor burden and increased survival similarly to free drug. Importantly, DOX toxicity was abrogated when DOX was loaded onto PEG-dMWCNTs or BT-PEG-dMWCNTs. Overall, PEG-dMWCNTs and BT-PEG-dMWCNTs represent a promising new nanocarrier platform.
