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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive type of breast cancer with a worse prognosis than other types. There are currently no specific approved treatments for TNBC. Albumin is a promising biomimetic material that may be fabricated into nanoparticles to possibly exert passive effects on targeted tumors. Irinotecan has been extensively used in clinical settings, although a high dosage is required due to its low efficiency of conversion into the active metabolite SN-38, also known as 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin. The aim of this work was to optimize SN-38-loaded bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (sBSANPs) and evaluate their potency against TNBC. The sBSANPs were characterized by a small size of about 134-264 nm, a negative charge of -37 to -40 mV, an entrapment efficiency of 59-71%, and a particle yield of 65-86%. The cytotoxicity assays using sBSANPs showed a higher potency specifically against both MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 cells (ER-, PR-, HER2-) compared to MCF-7 (ER+, PR+, HER2-), and exhibited an extremely low IC
