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

Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a promising pharmacotherapeutic modality for glioblastoma (GBM) drug delivery. However, the clinical translation of EVs remains restricted due to their low yield and demanding extraction steps. Therefore, extracellular vesicle mimetics (EVMs), as alternatives to EVs, have received much attention. Results: Herein, inspired by the inherent GBM tropism of monocytes and the editable target recognition ability of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), we present the synthesis and systemic evaluation of a doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded nanoplatform (termed CAR-EVMs@DOX) generated by loading DOX into EVMs derived from CAR-modified monocytes (CAR-EVMs) via a modified extrusion method. Due to insufficient GBM drug delivery efficacy and great systemic toxicity caused by the resistance of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), CAR-EVMs@DOX can be administered intranasally to bypass the BBB, resulting in dramatic GBM-targeted migration and accumulation in the GBM site. Moreover, compared with intravenous administration, intranasal delivery of CAR-EVMs@DOX increases tumor inhibition efficacy while protecting against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Conclusions: The findings of our study demonstrate that the intranasal administration of the facile and well-designed nanoplatform CAR-EVMs@DOX is an advanced drug delivery tactic for GBM therapy, with the potential for future clinical translation.
