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

Patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are not sensitive to sorafenib (SOR), therefore, combination therapy is required. In this study, an improved thin-film dispersion and post-insertion anchoring technique was utilized to construct a dual-targeted co-delivery SOR and docetaxel (DTX) liposome drug delivery system, folate/chondroitin sulfate with SOR/DTX-modified liposomes (FA/CS@SDLP), to jointly enhance the anti-recurrence and metastasis of HCC. FA/CS@SDLP can establish the gradual release of the two drugs because of successful lysosomal escape in the condensed hyaluronidase environment. The results indicated that modification with folate (FA) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) significantly enhanced the cellular uptake of FA/CS@SDLP and the internalization of SOR/DTX in HepG2 cells through FA and CD44 receptor-mediated endocytosis. Compared to free drugs or the mono-targeted liposomal system (FA@SDLP), FA/CS@SDLP presented higher potency against HepG2 cells regarding pro-apoptosis, anti-proliferation, and anti-metastasis (migration and invasion). Moreover, a more satisfactory antitumor efficacy was observed for FA/CS@SDLP in the pulmonary metastasis of HCC in a mouse model. In summary, dual-targeted co-delivery of liposomes can synergistically treat HCC recurrence and metastasis, providing a new approach for the clinically accurate treatment of HCC.
