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

objectivesTelmisartan (TLM) is an antihypertensive drug that has been shown to have antiproliferative effects on cancer cells. It has low solubility and suboptimal oral bioavailability. To investigate the potential anticancer effect of TLM on breast cancer cells, poly (D, L-lactide) (PLA) nanoparticles were formulated with the benefit of improving its solubility. MATERIALS AND

methodsTLM-loaded PLA nanoparticles were prepared by emulsion solvent evaporation. The effects of sonication time and polymer:drug ratio on nanoparticle size and drug encapsulation were investigated. TLM-loaded nanoparticles were tested against MCF-7 and MD-AMB-231 breast cancer cell lines for antiproliferative effects.

resultsNanoparticles with mean particle size 272 nm and 79% encapsulation efficiency were obtained. Sustained release TLM nanoparticles (40% in 24 h) decreased cell viability to 45% for MCF-7 cells at 72 h, even at the lowest TLM concentration, indicating better anticancer efficiency than TLM solution.

conclusionTLM nanoparticles could be potential anticancer agents for breast cancer and deserve further studies.
