Polymerized β-Cyclodextrin-Based Injectable Hydrogel for Sustained Release of 5-Fluorouracil/Methotrexate Mixture in Breast Cancer Management: In Vitro and In Vivo Analytical Validations.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
An inclusion complexation, between polymerized β-cyclodextrin and cholesterol end-capping branched polyethylene glycol, was utilized for constructing a self-assembled hydrogel. The physicochemical properties, the in vitro release profiles of 5-Fluorouracil/methotrexate (anticancer drugs), and the surface morphology of the resulting hydrogel were studied. Moreover, in vivo studies were carried out on female rats bearing breast cancer. The results revealed that the prepared systems were white in color, rubbery, and homogenous. The in vitro release studies showed an efficient ability of the modified system for drug loading and release in a sustained release manner for 14 days. The surface morphology was spongy porous. Moreover, the tumors’ healing was indicated from the analysis of tumor volume, plasma tumor markers, and histopathological analysis, compared to the controlled rats. The pharmacokinetic parameters appeared significant differences (p < 0.05) in the Cmax and Tmax of the medicated hydrogel samples, as compared with sole or combined saline-injected samples. The whole AUC of each drug in the medicated hydrogel samples was five-fold more than the mixture administrated in PBS. In conclusion, the proposed work delivered a hydrogel system that has a convenient ability for localized sustained release of breast cancer management.
