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

Owing to the indispensable role of nanotechnology in cancer therapy, it is imperative to comprehend every aspect limiting its therapeutic potential. Several preclinical reports have demonstrated the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR)-mediated preferential tumor uptake of nanoparticles. However, the therapeutic outcome of nanotherapeutics is severely compromised by heterogeneous drug distribution and insufficient penetration of nanomedicine in a solid tumor owing to the dense tumor extracellular matrix (ECM). Herein, we elaborate on various preclinically investigated tumor stromal disrupting strategies, which we call 'cannons', to compromise the impenetrable 'fortress-like' solid tumor microenvironment. We have described and summarized major approaches to enhance the penetration of a 'nano-arsenal' in solid tumors. ECM remodeling strategies could be very beneficial in enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of monoclonal antibodies and translational nanomedicine.
