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

Combinatorial therapy based on chemotherapeutic drugs and gene agents to achieve synergistic antitumor effects has emerged as a new direction for cancer treatment. However, simple and efficient co-delivery of those two drug categories remains a key challenge in this hot area owing to their substantially different pharmacodynamics, impeding the translational potentials of combinatorial approaches. To address this issue, herein we propose a simple strategy to site-specifically graft camptothecins (CPTs, a representative chemodrug) onto a DNA with dual functional segments, including an AS1411 aptamer sequence to target the cancer cell and a BCL-2 antisense sequence to down-regulate the anti-apoptotic gene. The obtained DNA-drug conjugate possesses precise chemical composition, controllable drug loading ratio, and responsive disulfide linkage, which can serve as a novel type of chemogene for combinatorial cancer therapy. In both in vitro and in vivo evaluations, our CPT-bearing chemogene exhibit the targeted co-delivery of chemo and gene agents to tumor site, efficient BCL-2 gene knockdown, and strong induced apoptosis of cancer cells, together leading into an enhanced antitumor efficacy. With simple and precise structure as well as facile synthetic procedure, the new chemogene may turn into a promising drug formulation for combinatorial antitumor treatment.
