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

Plant-derived nanovesicles (PDVs) as nanodrug delivery carriers have gained recognition due to their satisfactory biosafety. However, there remains a challenge to target tumor sites accurately due to the uncertain membrane protein components on the surface of vesicles. Herein, a composite nanodrug delivery system by encapsulating the chemotherapy drug DOX is establish to efficiently target breast cancer. The novel nanoplatform (LEVBD) is formed by embedding the membrane fragments from breast cancer cell with the lemon-derived nanovesicles (LEVs) as the foundational skeleton. LEVBD reveal wonderful homologous tumor targeting due to fusion of cancer cell membrane components with LEVs, and the encapsulation of hybrid vesicles facilitates the transcellular transport of drugs. After intravenous injection, LEVBD could efficiently and selectively home to homologous tumor sites even under competition from heterologous tumors and significantly inhibit tumor growth without any observable toxic side effects. The doping of homologous cancer cell membranes provides a paradigm for the precise delivery of drug delivery vehicles using plant-derived vesicles as the backbone.
