The Chemotherapeutic Efficacy of Hyaluronic Acid Coated Polymeric Nanoparticles against Breast Cancer Metastasis in Female NCr-Nu/Nu Nude Mice.
Article in Polymers, 2023. 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
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) coated Poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) for cancer treatment are biocompatible, nonimmunogenic and accumulate in tumour sites due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR). Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent but cardiotoxic anticancer agent. Hyaluronic acid (HA) occurs naturally in the extra-cellar matrix and binds to CD44 receptors which are overexpressed in cancer metastasis, proven to be characteristic of cancer stem cells and responsible for multidrug resistance. In this study, an athymic mice model of breast cancer metastasis was developed using red fluorescent protein (RFP)-labelled triple negative cancer cells. The animals were divided into four treatment groups (Control, HA-PEG-PLGA nanoparticles, PEG-PLGA nanoparticles, and Free DOX). The tumour size growth was assessed until day 25 when animals were sacrificed. Mice treated with HA-PEG-PLGA NPs inhibited tumour growth. The tumour growth at day 25 (118% ± 13.0) was significantly (p < 0.05) less than PEG-PLGA NPs (376% ± 590 and control (826% ± 970). Fluorescent microscopy revealed that HA-PEG-PLGA NPs had significantly (p < 0.05) less metastasis in liver, spleen, colon, and lungs as compared to control and to Free DOX groups. The efficacy of HA-PEG-PLGA NPs was proven in vivo. Further pharmacokinetic and toxicity studies are required for this formulation to be ready for clinical research.
