Polyvinylpyrrolidone Assisted One-Pot Synthesis of Size-Tunable Cocktail Nanodrug for Multifunctional Combat of Cancer.
Article in International journal of nanomedicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The in vivo barriers and multidrug resistance (MDR) are well recognized as great challenges for the fulfillment of antitumor effects of current drugs, which calls for the development of novel therapeutic agents and innovative drug delivery strategies. Nanodrug (ND) combining multiple drugs with distinct modes of action holes the potential to circumvent these challenges, while the introduction of photothermal therapy (PTT) can give further significantly enhanced efficacy in cancer therapy. However, facile preparation of ND which contains dual drugs and photothermal capability with effective cancer treatment ability has rarely been reported. Methods: In this study, we selected curcumin (Cur) and doxorubicin (Dox) as two model drugs for the creation of a cocktail ND (Cur-Dox ND). We utilized polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a stabilizer and regulator to prepare Cur-Dox ND in a straightforward one-pot method. Results: The size of the resulting Cur-Dox ND can be easily adjusted by tuning the charged ratios. It was noted that both loaded drugs in Cur-Dox ND can realize their functions in the same target cell. Especially, the P-glycoprotein inhibition effect of Cur can synergistically cooperate with Dox, leading to enhanced inhibition of 4T1 cancer cells. Furthermore, Cur-Dox ND exhibited pH-responsive dissociation of loaded drugs and a robust photothermal translation capacity to realize multifunctional combat of cancer for photothermal enhanced anticancer performance. We further demonstrated that this effect can also be realized in 3D multicellular model, which possibly attributed to its superior drug penetration as well as photothermal-enhanced cellular uptake and drug release. Conclusion: In summary, Cur-Dox ND might be a promising ND for better cancer therapy.
