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

purposeSince the last decade, it is established that nonspecific delivery of chemotherapeutics fails to effectively treat cancer due to systemic cytotoxicity, poor biodistribution at tumor site and most importantly the development of drug resistance (MDR). Stimuli-sensitive drug delivery systems gained significant attention in recent years for effective tumor therapy and reversal of MDR. The aim of this study was developing a redox sensitive micellar prodrug system, by taking the advantage of the significant difference in GSH levels between extracellular and intracellular environments, but more importantly in healthy and tumor tissues.

conclusionsThe results of this study highlights the importance of personalized therapy since no fits-for-all system can be developed for different cancer with significantly different metabolic activities.
