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

As a hallmark of solid tumors, hypoxia promotes tumor growth, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance by regulating the expression of hypoxia-related genes. Hypoxia also represents a tumor-specific stimulus that has been exploited for the development of bioreductive prodrugs and advanced drug delivery systems. Cell division cycle 20 (CDC20) functions as an oncogene in tumorigenesis, and we demonstrated the significant upregulation of CDC20 mRNA in the tumor vs paratumor tissues of breast cancer patients and its positive correlation with tumor hypoxia. Herein, a hypoxia-responsive nanoparticle (HRNP) was developed by self-assembly of the 2-nitroimidazole-modified polypeptide and cationic lipid-like compound for delivery of siRNA to specifically target CDC20, a hypoxia-related protumorigenic gene, in breast cancer therapy. The delivery of siCDC20 by HRNPs sufficiently silenced the expression of CDC20 and exhibited potent antitumor efficacy. We expect that this strategy of targeting hypoxia-correlated protumorigenic genes by hypoxia-responsive RNAi nanoparticles may provide a promising approach in cancer therapy.
