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

Recently, breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) have rapidly emerged as a novel target for the therapy of breast cancer as they play critical roles in tumor growth, maintenance, metastasis, and recurrence. Let-7 miRNA is known to be downregulated in a variety of cancers, especially BCSCs, whereas CDK4 being overexpressed in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) overexpressing tumor cells. In this study, let-7 miRNA and CDK4-specific siRNA were chosen as therapeutic agents and co-encapsulated in Herceptin-conjugated cationic liposomes for breast cancer therapy. Particle size, zeta potential, and encapsulation efficacy of mi/siRNA-loaded PEGylated liposome conjugated with Herceptin (Her-PEG-Lipo-mi/siRNA) were 176 nm, 28.1 mV, and 99.7% ± 0.1%, respectively. Enhanced cellular uptake (86%) was observed by fluorescence microscopy when SK-BR-3 cells were treated with Her-PEG-Lipo-mi/siRNA. Also, the increased amount of let-7a mRNA and decreased amount of cellular CDK4 mRNA were observed by qRT-PCR when SK-BR-3 cells were treated with Her-PEG-Lipo-mi/siRNA, which was even more so when SK-BR-3 stem cells were used (197 vs 768 times increase for let-7a, 62% vs 68% decrease for CDK4). Growth inhibition (65%) and migration arrest (0.5%) of the cells were achieved by the treatment of the cells with Her-PEG-Lipo-mi/siRNA, but not with mi/siRNA complex or other formulations. In conclusion, an efficient liposomal delivery system for the combination of miRNA and siRNA to target the BCSCs was developed and could be used as an efficacious therapeutic modality for breast cancer.
