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

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most prevalent form of brain tumor, which generally has a poor prognosis. According to consensus, recurrence of the tumor and chemotherapy resistance acquisition are the two distinguishing features of GBM originated from glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs). To eliminate these obstacles inherent in GBM chemotherapy, targeting GSCs through a smart drug delivery system has come to the front position of GBM therapeutics. In this study, B19 aptamer (Apt)-conjugated polyamidoamine (PAMAM) G4C12 dendrimer nanoparticles (NPs), called Apt-NPs, were formulated for the co-delivery of paclitaxel (PTX) and temozolomide (TMZ) to U-87 stem cells. These drugs were loaded using a double emulsification solvent evaporation method. As a result, drug-loaded Apt-NPs significantly inhibited the tumor growth of U-87 stem cells, by the initiation of apoptosis via the downregulation of autophagic and multidrug resistance (MDR) genes. Additionally, by their downregulation by qPCR of CD133, CD44, SOX2, and the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway, cell proliferation has substantially decreased. Altogether, the results demonstrate that this intelligent drug co-delivery system is capable of effectively transferring PTX and TMZ to U-87 stem cells and without any toxic effect on Apt-NPs alone to U-87 stem cells. Furthermore, the designed dendrimer-based pharmaceutical system along with single-stranded B19 aptamer might be utilized as a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of U-87 stem cells drug resistance in the GBM.
