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

backgroundChemotherapy, as an adjuvant treatment strategy for HER2-positive breast cancer, can effectively improve clinical symptoms and overcome the drug resistance of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. Nucleoside analogues are a class of traditional chemotherapeutic drugs that are widely applied in adjuvant therapy. However, there are many critical issues that limit their clinical efficiency, including poor selectivity and stability, severe side effects and suboptimal therapeutic efficacy. Hence, this work aims to develop a new DNA nanocarrier for targeted drug delivery to solve the above problems.

methodsFour 41-mer DNA strands were synthesized and 10 FUdR molecules were attached to 5' end of each DNA strand by DNA solid-phase synthesis. An affibody molecule was connected to the end of polymeric FUdR through a linker in one of the four strands. The affibody-FUdR-tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (affi-F/TDNs) were self-assembled through four DNA strands, in which one vertex was connected to an affibody at the end of a polymeric FUdR tail and three vertices were only polymeric FUdR tails. In vitro cellular uptake of affi-F/TDNs was examined visually with confocal fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry, and the cytotoxicity of affi-F/TDNs against cancer cells was investigated with MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining method. Using NOD/SCID (Mus Musculus) mice model, the targeted killing efficacy of affi-F/TDNs was also evaluated.

resultsThe drug-loading of FUdR in affi-TDNs was 19.6% in mole ratio. The in vitro results showed that affi-F/TDNs had high selectivity and inhibition (81.2%) for breast cancer BT474 cells overexpressing HER2 and low toxicity in MCF-7 cells with low HER2 expression. During the in vivo application, affi-F/TDNs displayed good stability in the blood circulation, achieved specific accumulation in tumor region and the best antitumor efficacy (inhibition ratio of 58.1%), and showed excellent biocompatibility.

conclusionsThe affibody-DNA tetrahedrons, as a simple and effective active targeting delivery nanocarrier, provided a new avenue for the transport of nucleoside antitumor drugs.
