The Use of the QbD Approach to Optimize the Co-Loading of Simvastatin and Doxorubicin in Liposomes for a Synergistic Anticancer Effect.
Article in Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 present study aimed to optimize a liposomal formulation co-encapsulating simvastatin (SIM) and doxorubicin (DOX) that has future perspectives in anticancer therapy. The optimization process was performed by implementing the Quality by Design concept and by considering the results of a previous screening study. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis was used for the identification of the potential critical factors, i.e., phospholipid, SIM and DOX concentration, which were assessed in an optimization experimental design with the purpose of designing an optimal formulation. The optimal formulation, meeting the established quality profile, was additionally characterized in terms of the release profile and antiproliferative effects. During dissolution studies, a novel chronoamperometric method was used for the simultaneous quantification of SIM and DOX. The obtained data confirmed the similarity of this method with a validated HPLC method. The anticancer potential of the optimal formulation was tested against two human cancerous cell lines, namely T47D-KBluc human mammary ductal carcinoma cell line and A549 human pulmonary cancer cell line. The results highlighted that the antiproliferative effect of the optimal formulation is concentration dependent and favors a synergistic effect of the two drugs.
