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

The specific and potent delivery of anticancer drugs to targeted cancer stem cells (CSCs) remains a critical need to maximize on-target, on-tumor effects while minimizing on-target, off-tumor toxicities. Herein, we present our Designer DNA Architecture (DDA)-templated Drug Conjugates (DDA-DCs) customized to deliver daunorubicin (Dau) specifically and potently to a subset of CSCs: acute myeloid leukemia (AML) leukemic stem cells (LSCs) that often maintain minimal residual disease (MRD) and cause relapse. Our DDA-DCs targeted LSCs via CD117- and CD123-binding aptamers: aptamers that when used alone disrupted the MAP Kinase and Apoptosis signaling pathways, leading to a 40% reduction in cell viability over 72 hours. These aptamers, when loaded with dsDNA-intercalating Dau and docked to DDA platforms, exhibited potent and selective cytotoxicity against CD117
