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

Systemic chemotherapy is efficacious against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), but it is often associated with serious side effects. Here, a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) receptor-targeted and tumor microenvironment-responsive nanoparticle system to selectively deliver chemotherapeutic drugs to TNBC cells, is reported. This delivery system (termed "LHRH-DCMs") contains poly(ethylene glycol) and dendritic cholic acid as a micellar carrier, reversible intra-micellar disulfide bond as a redox-responsive crosslink, and synthetic high-affinity (D-Lys)-LHRH peptide as a targeting moiety. LHRH-DCMs exhibit high drug loading efficiency, optimal particle size, good colloidal stability, and glutathione-responsive drug release. As expected, LHRH-DCMs are more efficiently internalized into human TNBC cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, resulting in stronger cytotoxicity against these cancer cells than the non-targeted counterpart when encapsulated with paclitaxel (PTX). Furthermore, near-infrared fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrate that LHRH-DCMs facilitate the tumor distribution and penetration of payloads in three different animal models of breast cancer, including cell line-derived xenograft (CDX), patient-derived xenograft (PDX), and transgenic mammary carcinoma. Finally, in vivo therapeutic studies show that PTX-LHRH-DCMs outperform both the corresponding nontargeted PTX-DCMs and the current clinical formulation (Taxol) in an orthotopic TNBC model. These results provide new insights into approaches for precise drug delivery of TNBC.
