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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer that has no therapeutic targets, relies on chemotherapeutics for treatment, and is in dire need of novel therapeutic approaches for improved patient outcomes. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as intercellular communicators and have been proposed as ideal drug delivery vehicles. Here, EVs were engineered with RNA nanotechnology to develop TNBC tumor inhibitors. Using super resolved-structured illumination microscopy, EVs were optimized for precise Survivin small interfering RNA (siRNA) conjugated to chemotherapeutics loading and CD44 aptamer ligand decoration, thereby enhancing specificity toward TNBC cells. Conventional treatments typically employ chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine (GEM) and paclitaxel (PTX) at dosages on the order of mg/kg respectively, per injection (intravenous) in mice. In contrast, engineered EVs encapsulating these drugs saw functional tumor growth inhibition at significantly reduced concentrations: 2.2 μg/kg for GEM or 5.6 μg/kg for PTX, in combination with 21.5 μg/kg survivin-siRNA in mice. The result is a substantial decrease in the chemotherapeutic dose required, by orders of magnitude, compared with standard regimens. In vivo and in vitro evaluations in a TNBC orthotopic xenograft mouse model demonstrated the efficacy of this decreased dosage strategy, indicating the potential for decreased chemotherapy-associated toxicity.
