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

Insufficient delivery of systemically administered anticancer drugs to tumors can compromise therapeutic efficacy and develop drug delivery-based therapeutic resistance. Nanotherapeutics such as PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) are designed to preferentially accumulate in tumors utilizing enhanced permeation and retention effect. However, their antitumor effects and resulting clinical outcomes are modest and heterogeneous among tumors. Here, we aimed to investigate whether the amount and efficacy of PLD delivered to tumors are tumor site dependent. We established orthotopic primary tumor or liver metastases models of murine breast cancer using 4 T1 cells. PLD showed significant therapeutic effects against tumors that grew in primary mammary sites but not in the liver. We found that differences in therapeutic efficacy were not because of the intrinsic biological resistance of cancer cells but rather were associated with tumor site-dependent differences in transport properties, such as the amount of PLD delivery, blood vessel function, relative vascular permeability, and mechanical pressure in tumors. Thus, transport properties in tumor is site dependent and can be used as phenotypic surrogate markers for tumor drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy.
