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

Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is a representative nanomedicine that has improved tumor selectivity and safety profile. However, the therapeutic superiority of PLD over conventional doxorubicin has been reported to be insignificant in clinical medicine. Combination treatment with microbubbles and ultrasound (US) is a promising strategy for enhancing the antitumor effects of chemotherapeutics by improving drug delivery. Recently, several preclinical studies have shown the drug delivery potential of lipid bubbles (LBs), newly developed monolayer microbubbles, in combination with low-intensity US (LIUS). This study aimed to elucidate whether the combined use of LBs and LIUS enhanced the intratumoral accumulation and antitumor effect of PLD in syngeneic mouse tumor models. Contrast-enhanced US imaging using LBs showed a significant decrease in contrast enhancement after LIUS, indicating that LIUS exposure induced the destruction of LBs in the tumor tissue. A quantitative evaluation revealed that the combined use of LBs and LIUS improved the intratumoral accumulation of PLD. Furthermore, tumor growth was inhibited by combined treatment with PLD, LBs, and LIUS. Therefore, the combined use of LBs and LIUS enhanced the antitumor effect of PLD by increasing its accumulation in the tumor tissue. In conclusion, the present study provides important evidence that the combination of LBs and LIUS is an effective method for enhancing the intratumoral delivery and antitumor effect of PLD
