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

background and purposeThe development of multiple drug resistance (MDR) to chemotherapy and single modal therapy remains unsatisfied for the eradication of tumor, which are major obstacles in cancer therapy. This novel system with excellent characteristics for inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and for near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging-guided chemo-photothermal therapy (PTT), has been identified as a promising way to MDR and achieve synergistic cancer therapy.

methodsIn this study, we successfully synthesized a multifunctional theranostic system, which was developed through FDA-approved self-assembling drugs, which contain anticancer drug doxorubicin (Dox), imaging and high photothermal conversion drug indocyanine green (ICG) and P-gp regulator TPGS (the system named T/Dox-ICG). We studied the characterization of T/Dox-ICG NPs, including the TEM, SEM, DLS, UV-vis-NIR, zeta potential, CLSM, in vitro FL imaging, in vitro photothermal effect, in vitro Dox and ICG release. We used CLSM to verify the location of intracellular distribution of Dox in SCG 7901/VCR cells, Western blot was performed to demonstrate the TPGS-mediated inhibition of P-gp. And, the cytotoxicity of materials against SCG 7901/VCR cells was studied by the MTT assay.

resultsThe TEM showed the T/Dox-ICG NPs had good monodispersity with diameters of 19.03 nm, Dox and ICG could be released constantly from T/Dox-ICG NPs in vitro. In vitro cell experiments demonstrated higher Dox accumulation and retention in the nucleus. Western blot showed TPGS could obviously inhibit the expression of P-gp. In vitro cytotoxicity assay showed more significant cytotoxicity on MDR cells (SCG 7901/VCR) with only 8.75% of cells surviving.

conclusionMDR cancer therapy indicates that it may be important to develop a safer system that can simultaneously inhibit the drug transporters and monitor the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents, and combination therapy have raised widespread concern on tumor treatment.
