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

Tumor multidrug resistance (MDR) presents a major challenge to the efficacy of cancer chemotherapy. Pyroptosis, a form of regulated cell death distinct from apoptosis and unassociated with drug resistance, may restore tumor cells’ sensitivity to therapeutic drugs. Cinobufagin (CS-1) with efficient pyroptosis inducing capability showed the potential for the treatment of MDR cancer. However, the hydrophobic nature, low bioavailability, and possible toxic side effects under high dosage pose significant limitations on its clinical application. In this research endeavor, we have engineered a unique “chemo-gas” hybrid nanocomplexes (HA@Lip-CS-1@PBCO NPs) by wrapping CS-1 containing lipofilm onto manganese carbonyl hybrid Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBCO NPs) and modifying the targeting molecule HA on the surface. In vitro studies demonstrated that HA@Lip-CS-1@PBCO NPs, exhibiting high tumor-targeting capability, effectively induced pyroptosis in MCF-7/ADR cells through the Caspase-3/GSDME signaling pathway. In vivo assays indicated a strong inhibitory effect on MDR tumors with low CS-1 cardiotoxicity. In conclusion, this “chemo-gas” integrated therapy provides a new strategy for treating MDR tumors.
