1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 bile acid transport system is a natural physiological cycling process between the liver and the small intestine, occurring approximately 6-15 times during the day. There are various bile acid transporter proteins on hepatocytes that specifically recognize bile acids for transport. Therefore, in this paper, a novel liposome, cholic acid-modified irinotecan hydrochloride liposomes (named CA-CPT-11-Lip), was prepared based on the "Trojan horse" strategy. The liposomes preparation process was optimized, and some important quality indicators were investigated. The distribution of irinotecan hydrochloride in mice was then analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the toxicity of liposomes to hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG-2) was evaluated in vitro. As a result, CA-CPT-11-Lip was successfully prepared. It was spherical with a particle size of 154.16 ± 4.92 nm, and the drug loading and encapsulation efficiency were 3.72 ± 0.04% and 82.04 ± 1.38%, respectively. Compared with the conventional liposomes (without cholic acid modification, named CPT-11-Lip), CA-CPT-11-Lip had a smaller particle size and higher encapsulation efficiency, and the drug accumulation in the liver was more efficient, enhancing the anti-hepatocellular carcinoma activity of irinotecan hydrochloride. The novel nanoliposome modified by cholic acid may help to expand the application of irinotecan hydrochloride in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and construct the drug delivery system mode of drug liver targeting.
