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

backgroundPaclitaxel (PTX) has interesting anticancer activity. However, it is insoluble in water, which seriously hinders its use in clinical. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are used as an ideal drug delivery system. Therefore, we proposed a folic acid (FA) targeting drug-loaded SPIONs to reduce its adverse reaction.

methodsTo improve the hydrophilicity of PTX, the structure of PTX was modified by succinic anhydride to obtain 2'-succinate paclitaxel (SPTX). FA conjugated Polyethylene glycol (PEG)/polyethyleneimine (PEI)-SPIONs SPTX-loaded nanoparticles (SPTX@FA@PEG/PEI-SPIONs) were prepared by solvent volatilization and hydrogen bond adsorption, and the nano-formulation was optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). The characteristics, antitumor effect in vitro, pharmacokinetics, and biodistribution of SPTX@FA@PEG/PEI-SPIONs were evaluated.

resultsSPTX was successfully loaded on the surface of FA@PEG/PEI-SPIONs. The formation of SPTX@FA@PEG/PEI-SPIONs was exhibited water-dispersive monodispersity with high stability by RSM, and dynamic light scattering (DLS) was 178.1±3.12 nm, particle size observed in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) was 13.01±1.10 nm, and the encapsulation efficiency (EE) and loading efficiency (LE) were 81.1±1.66% and 14.8±1.46%, respectively. It enhanced the stability in normal physiological condition, accelerated drug release at tumorous pH, and preferentially prolonged the circulation time. In vitro, the SPTX@FA@PEG/PEI-SPIONs significantly targeted to folate receptor (FR) positive cancers cell (HNE-1) via the receptor-ligand mediated pathway, resulting in effective cytotoxic activity. Pharmacokinetic results demonstrated that SPTX@FA@PEG/PEI-SPIONs (t

conclusionThese results suggest that SPTX@FA@PEG/PEI-SPIONs offer a highly promising approach to control drug release, improve drug pharmacokinetics and actively target the nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
