Targeted disruption of tumor vasculature via polyphenol nanoparticles to improve brain cancer treatment.
Article in Cell reports. Physical science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Despite being effective for many other solid tumors, traditional anti-angiogenic therapy has been shown to be insufficient for the treatment of malignant glioma. Here, we report the development of polyphenol nanoparticles (NPs), which not only inhibit the formation of new vessels but also enable targeted disruption of the existing tumor vasculature. The NPs are synthesized through a combinatory iron-coordination and polymer-stabilization approach, which allows for high drug loading and intrinsic tumor vessel targeting. We study a lead NP consisting of quercetin and find that the NP after intravenous administration preferentially binds to VEGFR2, which is overexpressed in tumor vasculature. We demonstrate that the binding is mediated by quercetin, and the interaction of NPs with VEGFR2 leads to disruption of the existing tumor vasculature and inhibition of new vessel development. As a result, systemic treatment with the NPs effectively inhibits tumor growth and increases drug delivery to tumors.
