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

Introduction: The tumor microenvironment (TME) has attracted considerable attention as a potential therapeutic target for cancer. High levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the TME may act as a stimulus for drug release. In this study, we have developed ROS-responsive hyaluronic acid-bilirubin nanoparticles (HABN) loaded with doxorubicin (DOX@HABN) for the specific delivery and release of DOX in tumor tissue. The hyaluronic acid shell of the nanoparticles acts as an active targeting ligand that can specifically bind to CD44-overexpressing tumors. The bilirubin core has intrinsic anti-cancer activity and ROS-responsive solubility change properties. Methods & Results: DOX@HABN showed the HA shell-mediated targeting ability, ROS-responsive disruption leading to ROS-mediated drug release, and synergistic anti-cancer activity against ROS-overproducing CD44-overexpressing HeLa cells. Additionally, intravenously administered HABN-Cy5.5 showed remarkable tumor-targeting ability in HeLa tumor-bearing mice with limited distribution in major organs. Finally, intravenous injection of DOX@HABN into HeLa tumor-bearing mice showed synergistic anti-tumor efficacy without noticeable side effects. Conclusion: These findings suggest that DOX@HABN has significant potential as a cancer-targeting and TME ROS-responsive nanomedicine for targeted cancer treatment.
