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

The search for new antineoplastic agents is imperative, as cancer remains one of the most preeminent causes of death worldwide. Since the discovery of the therapeutic potential of cisplatin, the study of metallodrugs in cancer chemotherapy acquired increasing interest. Starting from cisplatin derivatives, such as oxaliplatin and carboplatin, in the last years, different compounds were explored, employing different metal centers such as iron, ruthenium, gold, and palladium. Nonetheless, metallodrugs face several drawbacks, such as low water solubility, rapid clearance, and possible side toxicity. Encapsulation has emerged as a promising strategy to overcome these issues, providing both improved biocompatibility and protection of the payload from possible degradation in the biological environment. In this respect, liposomes, which are spherical vesicles characterized by an aqueous core surrounded by lipid bilayers, have proven to be ideal candidates due to their versatility. In fact, they can encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, are biocompatible, and their properties can be tuned to improve the selective delivery to tumour sites exploiting both passive and active targeting. In this review, we report the most recent findings on liposomal formulations of metallodrugs, with a focus on encapsulation techniques and the obtained biological results.
