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

backgroundTumor angiogenesis plays a crucial role in tumor development, and recent efforts have been focused on combining proapoptotic and antiangiogenic activities to enhance antitumor therapy.

methodsIn this study, galactose-modified liposomes (Gal-LPs) were prepared for co-delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) and combretastatin A4 phosphate (CA4P). The co-cultured system composed of BEL-7402 and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) cells was established to effectively evaluate in vitro anti-tumor activity through cell viability and cell migration assay. Furthermore, both in vivo bio-distribution and anti-hepatoma effect of DOX&CA4P/Gal-LPs were investigated on H22 tumor cell-bearing mice.

resultsThe results showed that DOX&CA4P/Gal-LPs were spherical with a mean particle size of 143 nm, and could readily be taken up by BEL-7402 cells. Compared with a mixture of free DOX and CA4P, the DOX&CA4P/Gal-LPs were more effective in inhibiting cell migration and exhibited stronger cytotoxicity against BEL-7402 cells alone or a co-cultured system. The in vitro studies showed that the co-cultured system was a more effective model to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of combination therapy. Moreover, DOX&CA4P/Gal-LPs exhibited a greater anti-hepatoma effect than other drug formulations, indicating that Gal-LPs could promote drug accumulation in the tumor region and improve the anti-tumor activity.

conclusionGal-LPs co-loaded with chemotherapeutic and antiangiogenic drugs are a promising strategy for anti-hepatoma therapy.
