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

Electrospun nanocarrier systems, widely employed in the medical field, exhibit the capability to encapsulate multiple drugs and mitigate complications. Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) represents a frequently utilized chemotherapeutic agent for liver cancer patients. Sodium bicarbonate (SB) serves to neutralize the acidic tumor microenvironment, while ibuprofen (IBU) attenuates inflammatory factor production. The combination of these three commonly used drugs facilitates antitumor efficacy and relapse prevention. Composite fibrous membranes were prepared by incorporating the antitumor drug DOX into MSN, which was then codispersed with IBU in a poly l-lactic acid (PLLA) electrospinning solution after acid sensitization using SB. The resulting membrane was characterized using transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The toxic effect of this fibrous membrane and its pro-apoptotic effect on tumor cells were evaluated, along with the expression of cell proliferation-related factors, immune/inflammatory factors, and apoptosis-related factors. Immunohistochemistry and HE staining confirmed its ability to inhibit recurrence of postoperative residual cancer without causing toxicity to vital organs. The PLLA-MSN@DOX-SB-IBU nanofibrous membrane not only mitigates the cardiotoxicity associated with DOX but also inhibits tumor cell proliferation and enhances the tumor microenvironment, demonstrating significant antitumor efficacy. Furthermore, it effectively prevents the recurrence of residual cancer postsurgery while exhibiting excellent biocompatibility. The PLLA-MSN@DOX-SB-IBU nanofibrous membrane demonstrates significant potential in impeding the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma and mitigating the recurrence of residual cancer following surgical intervention for hepatocellular carcinoma.
