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

backgroundMultidrug resistance (MDR) is an emerging problem in the treatment of cancer. Therefore, there is a necessity for novel strategies that would sensitize tumor cells to the administered chemotherapeutics. One of the innovative approaches in fighting drug-resistant tumors is the treatment of cancer with microRNA (miRNA), or the use of cubosomes (lipid nanoparticles) loaded with drugs. Here, we present a study on a novel approach, which combines both tools.

methodsCubosomes loaded with miR-7-5p and chemotherapeutics were developed. The effects of drug- and miRNA-loaded vehicles on glioma- (A172, T98G), papillary thyroid- (TPC-1) and cervical carcinoma-derived (HeLa) cells were analyzed using molecular biology techniques, including quantitative real-time PCR, MTS-based cell proliferation test, flow cytometry and spheroids formation assay.

resultsThe obtained data indicate that miR-7-5p increases the sensitivity of the tested cells to the drug, and that nanoparticles loaded with both miRNA and the drug produce a greater anti-tumor effect in comparison to the free drug treatment. It was found that an increased level of apoptosis in the drug/miRNA co-treated cells is accompanied by an alternation in the expression of the genes encoding for key MDR proteins of the ABC family.

conclusionsOverall, co-administration of miR-7-5p with a chemotherapeutic can be considered a promising strategy, leading to reduced MDR and the induction of apoptosis in cancer cells.
