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

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, and its drug resistance poses a huge challenge and a serious threat to people's health. In previous studies, we have found that the combination of paclitaxel and BEZ235 has synergistic anti-colon cancer effects, particularly in drug-resistant colorectal cancer, demonstrating excellent anti-tumor effects. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the preparation of the nanoemulsification of paclitaxel and BEZ235 (NEs-PTX-BEZ235) and to explore the potential key parameters for its clinical translation. This study aims to provide a new therapeutic strategy for colorectal cancer, especially for drug-resistant colorectal cancer. The nanomaterials were prepared by low energy self-emulsification method, and analyzed by Malvern laser particle size analyzer. Cell drug uptake was observed under fluorescence microscope. CCK8, Western blot and flow cytometry were used to compare the anti-cancer effects and mechanisms of different experimental groups on ordinary and drug-resistant colon cancer cells. Human colon cancer primary cells were extracted to verify the anti-tumor effect of drugs. Finally, we found that NEs-PTX-BEZ235 significantly killed colon cancer cells, especially drug-resistant cells, and performed better than Nab-PTX. It may play a synergistic role in reducing drug resistance, inhibiting tumor stemness and inducing apoptosis of colon cancer cells by inhibiting drug resistance proteins.
