Chlorin e6 Phospholipid Delivery System Featuring APN/CD13 Targeting Peptides: Cell Death Pathways, Cell Localization, In Vivo Biodistribution.
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
We have previously designed a phospholipid delivery system for chlorin e6 to increase the efficacy of photodynamic therapy involving a second-generation photosensitizer. Further research into the matter led to double modification of the obtained nanoparticles with ligands exhibiting targeting and cell-penetrating effects: an NGR-containing peptide and heptaarginine (R7), respectively. This study investigated the cell death pathway on HT-1080 tumor cells after treatment with the proposed compositions: the chlorin e6 phospholipid composition and the two-peptide chlorin e6 phospholipid composition. It was demonstrated that most of the cells died by apoptosis. Colocalization analysis of chlorin e6 in the phospholipid composition with two peptides showed mitochondria are one of the targets of the photosensitizer. An HT-1080 tumor-bearing mouse model was used to evaluate the biodistribution of the drug in tumor, liver, and kidney tissues after administration of the study compositions in comparison with free chlorin e6. The photosensitizer mostly accumulated in the tumor tissue of mice administered the phospholipid compositions, and accumulation was increased 2-fold with the peptide-containing composition and approximately 1.5-fold with the unenhanced composition, as compared with free chlorin e6. The enhancement of the chlorin e6 phospholipid composition with targeting and cell-penetrating peptides was found to be effective both in vitro and in vivo.
