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

Nanoparticle carriers offer the possibility of enhanced delivery of therapeutic payloads in tumor tissues due to tumor-selective accumulation through the enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR). Gold nanoparticles (AuNP), in particular, possess highly appealing features for development as nanomedicines, such as biocompatibility, tunable optical properties and a remarkable ease of surface functionalization. Taking advantage of the latter, several strategies have been designed to increase treatment specificity of gold nanocarriers by attaching monoclonal antibodies on the surface, as a way to promote selective interactions with the targeted cells-an approach referred to as active-targeting. Here, we describe the synthesis of spherical gold nanoparticles surface-functionalized with an anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) as an active targeting agent that carries a cytotoxic payload. In addition, we enhanced the intracellular delivery properties of the carrier by attaching a cell penetrating peptide to the active-targeted nanoparticles. We demonstrate that the antibody retains high receptor-affinity after the structural modifications performed for drug-conjugation and nanoparticle attachment. Furthermore, we show that antibody attachment increases cellular uptake in HER2 amplified cell lines selectively, and incorporation of the cell penetrating peptide leads to a further increase in cellular internalization. Nanoparticle-bound antibody-drug conjugates retain high antimitotic potency, which could contribute to a higher therapeutic index in high EPR tumors.
