Cisplatin-Loaded Thermosensitive Liposomes Functionalized with Hyaluronic Acid: Cytotoxicity and In Vivo Acute Toxicity Evaluation.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cisplatin (CDDP) is a potent antitumor drug used in first-line chemotherapy against several solid tumors, including breast cancer. However, toxicities and drug resistance limit its clinical application. Thermosensitive liposome (TSL) functionalized with hyaluronic acid (HA) containing cisplatin (TSL-CDDP-HA) was developed by our research group aiming to promote the release of CDDP in the tumor region under hyperthermia conditions, as well as to decrease toxicity. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate this new formulation (HA-coated TSL-CDDP) concerning in vitro behavior and in vivo toxicity compared to non-coated TSL-CDDP and free CDDP. Cytotoxicity assays and nuclear morphology were carried out against triple-negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), while an in vivo toxicity study was performed using healthy Swiss mice. The results showed an increase (around 3-fold) in cytotoxicity of the cationic formulation (non-coated TSL-CDDP) compared to free CDDP. On the other hand, TSL-CDDP treatment induced the appearance of 2.5-fold more senescent cells with alteration of nuclear morphology than the free drug after hyperthermia condition. Furthermore, the association of liposomal formulations treatment with hyperthermia increased the percentage of apoptotic cells compared to those without heating. The percentage of apoptotic cells was 1.7-fold higher for TSL-CDDP-HA than for TSL-CDDP. For the in vivo toxicity data, the TSL-CDDP treatment was also toxic to healthy cells, inducing nephrotoxicity with a significant increase in urea levels compared to the saline control group (73.1 ± 2.4 vs. 49.2 ± 2.8 mg/mL). On the other hand, the HA-coated TSL-CDDP eliminated the damages related to the use of CDDP since the animals did not show changes in hematological and biochemical examinations and histological analyses. Thus, data suggest that this new formulation is a potential candidate for the intravenous therapy of solid tumors.
