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

Our group recently presented a simple strategy using the non-ionic surfactant, Pluronic, as a size control excipient to produce nanobubbles in the 100-nm range, which exhibited stability and echogenicity on par with clinically available microbubbles. The objective of the present study was to evaluate biodistribution and extravasation of the Pluronic-stabilized lipid nanobubbles compared with microbubbles in 2 experimental tumor models in mice. Standard lipid-stabilized perfluoropropane bubbles (Pluronic L10) and lipid-stabilized perfluoropropane nanobubbles were intravenously injected into mice bearing either an orthotopic mouse breast cancer (BC4 T1) or subcutaneous mouse ovarian cancer (OVCAR-3) through the tail vein to perform perfusion dynamic studies. No significant differences between the nanobubble and microbubble groups were observed in the peak enhancement of the 3 tested regions (tumor, liver and kidney). However, the decay rates of nanobubble in the tumor and kidney of BC4 T1-bearing mice, as well as in mice with OVRCAR-3 tumors were significantly slower than those of the microbubble. To quantify extravasation, fluorescently labeled bubbles were intravenously injected into mice bearing the same tumors. Histologic analysis showed that nanobubbles were retained in tumor tissue to a greater extent compared with microbubbles in both tumor models at the 3-h time point. Our results demonstrate unique nanobubble behavior compared with microbubbles and support augmented application of these agents in ultrasound molecular imaging and drug delivery beyond the tumor vasculature.
