Polymeric Nanocarriers for Effective Synergistic Action of Sorafenib Tosylate and Gold-sensitized Gamma Radiation Against HepG2 Cells.
Article in International journal of nanomedicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeOne of the key parameters towards effective and synergistic combinatorial anticancer therapeutic models is the nanocarrier. Nearly all previous studies have been limited to one nanocarrier for one drug. However, a comparative study on two polymeric nanocarriers for the same drug against the same cancer cell and under the same conditions helps to rationalize the properties of each polymeric nanocarrier to the effectiveness of the drug-loaded nanocapsules.
methodsIn this study, two of biocompatible polymers, namely poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) and polyε-caprolactone (PCL), were used for co-delivery of sorafenib tosylate and gold nanoparticles (G).
resultsThe anticancer effects of sorafenib tosylate (ST) combined with gold-sensitized radiation therapy were studied and rationalized to the physicochemical properties of each nanocarrier. Both models inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells via cell cycle arrest. The use of PCL and PLGA as nanocarriers for the proposed combined (chemo-radio) therapeutic model reduced the viability of HepG2 cells to 26% and 8%, respectively. PCL and PLGA models showed high necrosis levels (15.1 and 16.2, respectively).
conclusionBoth PCL and PLGA are good nanocarriers for the proposed combined model. Compared to PCL NPs, PLGA NPs showed enhanced release, higher cytotoxicity and higher necrosis levels.
