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

Long-circulating PEG-modified liposome has been shown to improve pharmacokinetic properties and reduce systemic toxicity in cancer treatment. However, drug bioavailability from liposome remains a major challenge to the improvement of its therapeutic efficacy. Previously, we designed a PEGylated dual-effect liposome (named as PL-Dox-Ce6) with chlorin e6 incorporated in the lipid bilayer and Doxorubicin encapsulated in the interior. In this study, another dual-effect liposome with cisplatin encapsulated in the interior was further developed. The pharmacokinetics of these two dual-effect liposomes were studied in tumor-bearing mice. Based on the kinetic data of tumor and plasma, light irradiation was applied onto the tumors at different time points after drug administration to compare the therapeutic efficacy. We demonstrated that a single dose of the dual-effect liposomes combined with two doses of light irradiation can completely eradicate over 90% of the tumor in mice alone with significant survival rate and no toxicity. Thus, this study established a platform that utilizes the dual-effect liposome which combines photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy to improve the therapeutic outcomes of tumors.
