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

We developed anticancer drug-conjugated biodegradable polymer-nanoparticle-loaded adipose-derived stem cells (AdSCs) as a tool for biodrug delivery systems for cancer therapy. Pirarubicin was conjugated in polylactic/glycolic acid (PLGA) followed by formation of nanoparticles (NPs), which were loaded with human AdSCs and cocultured. The pirarubicin-conjugated PLGA NP-loaded AdSCs (PirNP-AdSCs) were overall viable within 48 h and exhibited significantly enhanced migration activity. We confirmed that pirarubicin was gradually released into the culture medium from PirNP-AdSCs, and the conditioned medium significantly inhibited the proliferation activity and induced the apoptosis of human pancreatic cancer cells (KP1N). PirNP-AdSCs also significantly induced tumor cell apoptosis in an ex vivo culture system with KP1N-derived tumors, and there was increased invasion/migration of PirNP-AdSCs inside the tumor. Finally, we compared the therapeutic efficacy of the PirNP-AdSCs on KP1N-derived tumor growth with that of treatments of AdSCs alone, PirNPs alone or normal saline (control) in immunodeficient mice. Subcutaneous local administration of PirNP-AdSCs significantly inhibited tumor growth, inducing the apoptosis of tumor cells and vasculature compared with the other groups. The present therapeutic strategy might give rise to a novel cancer therapy minimizing the adverse side effects of anticancer drugs in patients who suffer from cancer.
