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

Cisplatin (CDDP) is one of the most commonly used chemotherapeutic agents for solid tumors and hematologic malignancy. However, its therapeutic outcomes have remained unsatisfactory due to severe side effects, a short elimination half-life, the emergence of drug resistance, and the induction of metastasis. Combination with other chemotherapeutic agents has been proposed as one strategy to address the drawbacks of CDDP-based therapy. Therefore, this study aimed to boost the antitumor efficacy of cisplatin (CDDP) with a PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitor, dactolisib (BEZ), via a carrier-free codelivery system based on the self-assembly of the coordinated CDDP-BEZ. The synthesized CDDP-BEZ nanoparticles (NPs) possess sensitive pH-responsiveness, facilitating the delivery of both drugs to cancer cells. CDDP-BEZ NPs specifically enhanced cytotoxicity in cancer cells due to the synergy between cisplatin and dactolisib, resulting in augmented DNA damage, activation of mitochondria-dependent apoptosis, and increased inhibition on the PI3K/mTOR signaling axis. The inhibition of tumor migration and metastasis by CDDP-BEZ NPs was observed both in vitro and in vivo. Our data suggest that CDDP-BEZ NPs could serve as a safe and effective platform to maximize the synergy between both drugs in combating cancer, presenting a strategy to promote the therapeutic efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents by combining them with PI3K inhibitors.
