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

Introduction: Paclitaxel (PTX), widely used chemotherapeutic agent, is limited by poor solubility, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated efflux, and non-specific toxicity. To overcome these challenges, we developed a triple-functionalized nanocarrier system incorporating poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)-based nanoparticles (PNs), D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) for P-gp inhibition, and platelet membrane (PM) coating for targeted tumor delivery. Methods: The PM-coated TPGS-modified PNs with PTX (PTPNs) was characterized by particle size analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and protein assay to confirm PM coating. In vitro drug release studies were conducted under acidic conditions mimicking the tumor microenvironment. Cellular assays were performed to evaluate cytotoxicity and drug efficacy in multidrug-resistant MCF-7/ADR cells. In vivo biodistribution and xenograft studies assessed tumor accumulation and therapeutic outcomes. Results: PTPNs exhibited a particle size of 221 ± 2 nm with a PDI of 0.090 ± 0.020 and a zeta potential of -30.5 ± 0.3 mV, indicating a homogeneous particle distribution and successful PM coating. The optimal PM-to-PLGA weight ratio was determined to be 0.005, which ensured structural stability and uniform coating in physiological conditions. Sustained PTX release was observed in acidic conditions, mimicking the tumor microenvironment. Cellular assays showed a 17-fold reduction in PTX IC Conclusion: The PTPNs enhanced PTX delivery by improving tumor specificity, overcoming multidrug resistance, and reducing systemic toxicity. These results suggested the potential of this biomimetic approach to advance cancer therapy.
