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

Targeted cancer therapy is currently the leading modality to enhance treatment selectivity and efficacy, as well as to minimize untoward toxicity to healthy tissues. Herein, we devised and studied nanoparticles (NPs) composed of the biocompatible block-copolymer PEG-PCL entrapping the hydrophobic chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel (PTX), which are targeted to human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. To achieve selective NSCLC targeting, these NPs were decorated with single-stranded oligonucleotide-based S15 aptamers (S15-APTs), which we have recently shown to serve as efficient tumor cell targeting ligands. Prepared without using surfactants, these 15 nm PEG-PCL/PTX NPs entered NSCLC cells via clathrin-mediated endocytosis. These NPs demonstrated efficient encapsulation of PTX, high selectivity to- and potent eradication of human A549 NSCLC cells, with a remarkable half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC
