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

Flavonoids, like Hesperetin, have been shown to be an ACE2 receptor agonists with antioxidant and pro-apoptotic activity and can induce apoptosis in cancer cells. ACE2 receptors are abundant in lung cancer cells. Here, we explored the application of Hesperetin bound to PegPLGA-coated nanoparticles (Hesperetin nanoparticles, HNPs) and anti-CD40 antibody as an aerosol treatment for lung tumor-bearing mice. The Hesperetin nanoparticles (HNPs) were engineered using a nano-formulation microfluidic technique and polymeric nanoparticles. The in vitro studies were performed in human A549 (ATCC) and murine LL/2-Luc2 (ATCC) lung cancer cell lines. A syngeneic orthotopic murine model of lung cancer was generated in wild (+/+) C57/BL6 background mice with luciferase-positive cell line LL/2-Luc2 cells. Lung tumor-bearing mice were treated via aerosol inhalation with HNP, anti-CD40 antibody, or both. Survival was used to analyze the efficacy of the aerosol treatment. The cohorts were also analyzed for body condition score, weight, and liver and kidney function. Analysis of an orthotopic murine lung cancer model demonstrated a differential uptake of the HNPs and anti-CD40 by the cancer cells. A higher survival rate was observed when the combination of aerosol treatment with HNPs was added with the treatment with anti-CD40 (
