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

Background: Chemotherapy still plays a dominant role in cancer treatment. However, the inability of conventional chemotherapeutic drugs to reach the hypoxic zone of solid tumors significantly weakens their efficacy. Bacteria-mediated drug delivery systems can be an effective targeting strategy for improving the therapeutic outcomes in cancer. Anaerobic bacteria have the unique ability to selectively transport drug loads to the hypoxic regions of tumors. Methods: We designed a Results: The self-driven Bif@PDA-PTX-NPs maintained the toxicity of PTX as well as the hypoxic homing tendency of Bif. Furthermore, Bif@PDA-PTX-NPs significantly inhibited the growth of A549 xenografts in nude mice, and prolonged the survival of the tumor-bearing mice compared to the other PTX formulations without any systemic or localized toxicity. Conclusion: The Bif@PDA-PTX-NPs biohybrids provide a new therapeutic strategy for targeted chemotherapy to solid tumors.
