Exploration of the inhibition action of TPGS on tumor cells and its combined use with chemotherapy drugs.
Article in Drug delivery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
D-alpha-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) is a commonly used nonionic surfactant used as a pharmaceutical carrier in different drug delivery systems. TPGS can reverse P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) and also has anticancer activities. It suggests that when designing antitumor drug preparation, it's necessary to take into account the antitumor activity of TPGS. Our in vivo studies showed that TPGS exerted the strongest cytotoxicity in MCF-7-ADR cells when compared with seven other tumor cell lines. The further study revealed TPGS caused apoptosis and blocked MCF-7 cell growth in G2/M phase. Mechanistic insights suggested that TPGS increased intracellular calcium ion concentrations, leading to apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway. Furthermore, two in vivo experiments were performed. One was TPGS, and DOX solution was administered by tail vein injection on MCF-7-ADR tumor bearing nude mice. The other was temperature sensitive TPGS gel (TPGS-TG) was administered by intratumoral injection on MCF-7-ADR tumor bearing nude mice combined with paclitaxel albumin nanoparticles (Abraxane
