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

Paclitaxel Injection Concentrate for Injection (PICN) is a novel nanoparticle formulation designed to overcome the limitations associated with the administration of marketed Cremophor and albumin based (nab) paclitaxel formulations. This study compared the in vivo antitumor efficacy of PICN with that of solvent-based paclitaxel and nab-paclitaxel in a murine NMRI nu/nu athymic nude mouse model bearing various human tumor xenotransplants: head and neck cancer (HNXF 1838 and HNXF 1842), lung cancer xenografts (LXFA 1584), and breast cancer xenografts (MAXF 574 and MAXF 1384). PICN displayed good to excellent antitumor activity. Moreover, PICN inhibited tumor growth more than solvent based paclitaxel formulation when compared at comparable tolerated dose levels. The higher antitumor efficacy of PICN compared to paclitaxel at lower dose levels of half the maximum tolerated dose (1/2MTD) was significant (P < 0.05) in three of the tumor models, i.e. HNXF 1842, MAXF 574, and MAXF 1384. The higher efficacy of PICN compared to paclitaxel was also evident at the MTD, but somewhat less pronounced, and was significant (P < 0.05) in one tumor model (HNXF 1838). The antitumor activity of PICN was similar to that of nab-paclitaxel. However, in one tumor model (HNXF 1838) PICN 50 mg/kg (1/2 MTD) showed a slight benefit over the same dose of nab-paclitaxel. The nanoparticulate nature of PICN and nab-paclitaxel therefore seems to enhance tumor cell penetration compared to conventional paclitaxel, resulting in better antitumor efficacy.
