Decoration of Squalenoyl-Gemcitabine Nanoparticles with Squalenyl-Hydroxybisphosphonate for the Treatment of Bone Tumors.
Article in ChemMedChem, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Therapeutic perspectives of bone tumors such as osteosarcoma remain restricted due to the inefficacy of current treatments. We propose here the construction of a novel anticancer squalene-based nanomedicine with bone affinity and retention capacity. A squalenyl-hydroxybisphosphonate molecule was synthetized by chemical conjugation of a 1-hydroxyl-1,1-bisphosphonate moiety to the squalene chain. This amphiphilic compound was inserted onto squalenoyl-gemcitabine nanoparticles using the nanoprecipitation method. The co-assembly led to nanoconstructs of 75 nm, with different morphology and colloidal properties. The presence of squalenyl-hydroxybisphosphonate enhanced the nanoparticles binding affinity for hydroxyapatite, a mineral present in the bone. Moreover, the in vitro anticancer activity was preserved when tested in commercial and patient-treated derived pediatric osteosarcoma cells. Further in vivo studies will shed light on the potential of these nanomedicines for the treatment of bone sarcomas.
