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

Achieving direct delivery of drugs to the tumor site is a prerequisite for successful drug development, necessitating that drug molecules be cell permeable. Numerous studies have shown that cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) can augment the efficacy of various therapeutic agents by enhancing cellular uptake, prompting their advancement into preclinical studies. However, the non-specificity and cationic properties of CPPs impede their clinical application. Attributed to the easily accessible capacity and excellent biocompatibility of red blood cells (RBC), herein, an RBC membrane camouflaged, cell-penetrating peptides R8-(RRRRRRRR)based drug delivery system is constructed to achieve a synergistic combination of natural compounds triptolide (TP) and celastrol (Cel), thus precisely inducing tumor inhibition. The RBC membrane camouflaged nanosystem escaped from the reticuloendothelial system (RES) and is endocytosed by tumor cells mediated by R8. Released TP and Cel-induced tumor cell apoptosis, reducing tumor metastasis invasion and triggering autophagy disorder in breast cancer and liver cancer. Overall, the biomimetic nanosystem realizes enhanced drug combination therapy with high-level biosafety, which provides a facile strategy to improve the clinical application of CPPs-based drug combinations.
