Dual-Functional Polymeric Micelles Co-Loaded with Antineoplastic Drugs and Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor for Combination Therapy in Colorectal Cancer.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The aim of this research was to evaluate the receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor Sunitinib combined with SN-38 in polymeric micelles for antitumor efficacy in colorectal cancer. First, SN-38 and Sunitinib co-loaded micelles were developed and characterized. We studied cell viability and cellular uptake in HCT-116 cells. Then, subcutaneous HCT-116 xenograft tumors were used for ex vivo biodistribution, antitumor efficacy, and histochemical analysis studies. Results of cellular uptake and ex vivo biodistribution of SN-38/Sunitinib micelles showed the highest accumulation in tumors compared with other normal organs. In the antitumor effect studies, mice bearing HCT-116 tumors were smallest at day 28 after injection of SN-38/Sunitinib micelles, compared with other experiment groups (p < 0.01). As demonstrated by the results of inhibition on multi-receptors by Sunitinib, we confirmed that SN-38/Sunitinib co-loaded micelles to be a treatment modality that could inhibit VEGF and PDGF receptors and enhance the antitumor effect of SN-38 (p < 0.05). In summary, we consider that this micelle is a potential formulation for the combination of SN-38 and Sunitinib in the treatment of colorectal cancer.
