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

In bone cancer treatment, local delivery of chemotherapeutic agents is preferred compared to other routes of administration. Delivery of multiple drugs using biodegradable carriers improves the treatment efficiency and overcomes drug resistance and toxicity. With this approach, we have developed multilayer biodegradable core shell nanoparticles (NPs) using the electro-spraying technique to deliver methotrexate (MTX) and doxorubicin (DOX) for the treatment of osteosarcoma. These core-shell NPs with a mean particle size of 212 ± 41 nm consist of hydroxyapatite (HA) and DOX as core with the outer shell made of chitosan (CH) followed by polycaprolactone (PCL) with MTX. The encapsulation efficiency of MTX was around 85% and DOX was 38%. In vitro drug release studies were performed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at pH 5 and pH 7.4 for 8 days. Different release profiles were observed in both acidic and alkaline pH. The sequential release of MTX followed by DOX was observed in both pH in sustained manner. Human osteosarcoma MG 63 (OMG-63) cells lines were used to test the cytotoxicity of drug loaded NPs. Multi-drug encapsulated bioresorbable and biodegradable electro-sprayed core shell NPs will be promising as a bone substitute for the treatment of osteosarcoma.
