Enhanced Solubility and Antitumor Activity of Annona Squamosa Seed Oil via Nanoparticles Stabilized with TPGS: Preparation and In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2022. 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
Annona squamosa seed oil (ASSO), which is a waste product in the extraction of annonaceous acetogenins (ACGs), displays good antitumor activity against a variety of tumor cells. However, ASSO is insoluble and has low bioavailability. In order to improve the solubility and application value of ASSO, the seed oil nanoparticles (ASSO-NPs) were successfully prepared only using TPGS as a stabilizer. ASSO-NPs obtained were spherical with a uniform size (less than 200 nm). ASSO-NPs showed the good storage stability at 25 ± 2 °C and were suitable for both oral administration and intravenous injection. The antitumor study in vitro and in vivo demonstrated more enhanced antitumor efficacy of ASSO-NPs than free ASSO. The ASSO-NPs group (15 mg/kg) had the highest tumor inhibition rate (TIR) of 69.8%, greater than the ASSO solution (52.7%, 135 mg/kg, p < 0.05) in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. The in vivo biodistribution data displayed that the fluorescence intensity of ASSO/DiR-NPs in tumor was similar to that in liver in the presence of the reticuloendothelial system. Besides, the relative tumor-targeting index (RTTI) of (ACGs + ASSO)-NPs was 1.47-fold that of ACGs delivered alone, and there is great potential in ASSO-NPs as tumor-targeted delivery vehicles. In this study, ASSO-NPs were firstly prepared by a very simple method with fewer excipients, which improved the solubility and antitumor activity of the ASSO, displaying a good prospect in the in vivo delivery of natural bioactive compounds.
