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

Breast cancer brain metastases (BM) are associated with a dismal prognosis and very limited treatment options. Standard chemotherapy is challenging in BM patients because the high dosage required for an effective outcome causes unacceptable systemic toxicities, a consequence of poor brain penetration, and a short physiological half-life. Nanomedicines have the potential to circumvent off-target toxicities and factors limiting the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy. The HER3 receptor is commonly expressed in breast cancer BM. Here, we investigate the use of hyperbranched polymers (HBP) functionalized with a HER3 bispecific-antibody fragment for cancer cell-specific targeting and pH-responsive release of doxorubicin (DOX) to selectively deliver and treat BM. We demonstrated that DOX-release from the HBP carrier was controlled, gradual, and greater in endosomal acidic conditions (pH 5.5) relative to physiologic pH (pH 7.4). We showed that the HER3-targeted HBP with DOX payload was HER3-specific and induced cytotoxicity in BT474 breast cancer cells (IC
