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

Ovarian cancer stands as a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally. This malignancy has hindered successful treatment attempts due to its inherent resistance to chemotherapy agents. The utilization of cisplatin and doxorubicin-loaded liposomes emerges as a strategically advantageous approach in the realm of biomedical applications. This strategy holds promise for augmenting drug efficacy, mitigating toxicity, refining pharmacokinetics, and facilitating versatile drug delivery while accommodating combination therapies. In pursuit of scholarly investigations, the eminent databases, including PubMed/MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Google Scholar, were meticulously scrutinized. Within this study, a nano-liposomal formulation was meticulously designed to serve as a co-delivery system. This system was optimized by varying lipid concentrations, hydration time, and DSPC: cholesterol molar ratios to efficiently encapsulate and load doxorubicin (DOX) and cisplatin (CIS) to overcome drug resistance problems. The Lipo (CIS + DOX) formulation underwent rigorous characterization including dimensions, entrapment efficiencies and drug release kinetics. Notably, the entrapment efficiency of cisplatin and doxorubicin loaded liposomal nanoparticles was an impressive 85.29 ± 1.45 % and 73.62 ± 1.70 %, respectively. Furthermore, Lipo (CIS + DOX) drug release kinetics exhibited pH-dependent properties, with lower drug release rates at physiological pH (7.4) than acidic (pH 5.4). Subsequent cytotoxicity assays revealed the enhanced biocompatibility of dual-drug liposomes with HFF cells compared to free drug combinations. Impressively, CIS and DOX-loaded liposomes induced significant cytotoxicity against A2780 in comparison to free drugs and combinatorial free drugs. Furthermore, the CIS and DOX-loaded liposome showed induced apoptotic potential and cell cycle arrest in A2780 compared to CIS, DOX, and their combination (CIS + DOX). Combining CIS and DOX via liposomal nanoparticles introduces a promising therapeutic avenue for addressing ovarian cancer. These nano-scale carriers hold the potential for attenuating the untoward effects of singular drugs and their attendant toxicities.
