Chitosomes Loaded with Docetaxel as a Promising Drug Delivery System to Laryngeal Cancer Cells: An In Vitro Cytotoxic Study.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Current delivery of chemotherapy, either intra-venous or intra-arterial, remains suboptimal for patients with head and neck tumors. The free form of chemotherapy drugs, such as docetaxel, has non-specific tissue targeting and poor solubility in blood that deters treatment efficacy. Upon reaching the tumors, these drugs can also be easily washed away by the interstitial fluids. Liposomes have been used as nanocarriers to enhance docetaxel bioavailability. However, they are affected by potential interstitial dislodging due to insufficient intratumoral permeability and retention capabilities. Here, we developed and characterized docetaxel-loaded anionic nanoliposomes coated with a layer of mucoadhesive chitosan (chitosomes) for the application of chemotherapy drug delivery. The anionic liposomes were 99.4 ± 1.5 nm in diameter with a zeta potential of -26 ± 2.0 mV. The chitosan coating increased the liposome size to 120 ± 2.2 nm and the surface charge to 24.8 ± 2.6 mV. Chitosome formation was confirmed via FTIR spectroscopy and mucoadhesive analysis with anionic mucin dispersions. Blank liposomes and chitosomes showed no cytotoxic effect on human laryngeal stromal and cancer cells. Chitosomes were also internalized into the cytoplasm of human laryngeal cancer cells, indicating effective nanocarrier delivery. A higher cytotoxicity (
