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

objectiveTranscatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) is the first choice for the treatment of advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, TACE suffers from a lack of specificity and rapid drug release. Herein, a targeted redox-responsive peptide (TRRP) was synthesized and used as a carrier of doxorubicin (DOX) to enhance the efficacy of TACE through tumor cells targeting and controlled drug release.

methodsTRRP has a high loading capacity of DOX and a sensitive drug release behavior at high glutathione (GSH) concentration. Moreover, TRRP could bind to the transferrin receptor on the surface of tumor cells, which enhanced the efficacy of TACE and reduced side effects of TACE. TACE with TRRP@DOX dispersed in lipiodol shows an enhanced therapeutic outcome compared to the treatment with DOX + lipiodol emulsion in orthotopic rat HCC models.

resultsTRRP has a high loading capacity of DOX and a sensitive drug release behavior at GSH concentration. Moreover, TRRP could bind to the transferrin receptor on the surface of tumor cells, which enhanced the efficacy of TACE and reduced side effects of TACE. TACE with TRRP@DOX dispersed in lipiodol shows an enhanced therapeutic outcome compared to the treatment with DOX + lipiodol emulsion in orthotopic rat HCC models.

conclusionsThis study demonstrated that TRRP was a promising therapeutic agent for enhancing TACE therapy for HCC treatment.
