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

Poor prognosis in high-grade gliomas is mainly due to fatal relapse after surgical resection in the absence of efficient chemotherapy, which is severely hampered by the blood-brain barrier. However, the leaky blood-brain-tumour barrier forms upon tumour growth and vascularization, allowing targeted nanocarrier-mediated drug delivery. The homotypic targeting ability of cell-membrane fragments obtained from cancer cells means that these fragments can be exploited to this aim. In this experimental work, injectable nanoemulsions, which have a long history of safe clinic usage, have been wrapped in glioma-cell membrane fragments via co-extrusion to give targeted, homogeneously sized, sterile formulations. These systems were then loaded with three different chemotherapeutics, in the form of hydrophobic ion pairs that can be released into the target site thanks to interactions with physiological components. The numerous assays performed in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cell models demonstrate that the proposed approach is a versatile drug-delivery platform with chemo-tactic properties towards glioma cells, with adhesive interactions between the target cell and the cell membrane fragments most likely being responsible for the effect. This approach's promising translational perspectives towards personalized nanomedicine mean that further
