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

Introduction: Lung cancer has a high resistance rate to current chemotherapies. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new anticancer drugs. Celastrol is a promising anticancer bioactive compound for various types of cancers. However, its poor solubility and severe liver damage have limited its clinical application. Methods: BIF@CEL/LF/CMCS-Lipo (Bif@CLC-LP), a self-driving biomotor that targets tumor tissues, was used to deliver celastrol, which was encapsulated in surface-modified lactoferrin liposomes, which were then coated with carboxymethyl chitosan and loaded onto the surface of Results: Bif@CLC-LP responds to pH and is bioselective, precisely targeting hypoxic regions of tumors. In the acidic tumor environment, the carboxymethyl chitosan coating breaks down, releasing liposomes that can specifically target the cancer surface receptor for endocytosis. This process increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreases the mitochondrial membrane potential in lung cancer cells, leading to apoptosis. Conclusion: In our work, Bif@CLC-LP significantly inhibited tumor growth while minimizing celastrol-induced liver damage in a mouse lung cancer model. This bacteria-mediated liposome delivery system is a promising new nanoplatform for treating different types of solid cancer.
