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

purposeTo compare the performance of sterically stabilized, doxorubicin-loaded liposomes with and without surface attached specific antibodies (D-SSIL and D-SSL, respectively).

methodsSmall (< or = 120 nm) unilamellar liposomes were prepared composed of hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine, hydrogenated phosphatidylethanolamine (HPE), cholesterol, and 2000Da polyethylene glycol (2000PEG) attached to the primary amino group of distearoyl phosphatidylethanolamine. Doxorubicin was remote-loaded into these liposomes by an ammonium sulfate gradient to form the D-SSL. Monoclonal IgG3 NI32/2 antibodies directed against a polyoma virus tumor-associated antigen expressed on A9 ctc 102 murine fibrosarcoma cells were attached to the D-SSL HPE via a thioether bond to form the D-SSIL-32/2. A control of nonspecific D-SSIL was prepared by attaching nonspecific IgG3-enriched immunoglobulins to D-SSL. All liposomes were physically and chemically characterized and then tested in vitro for tumor cell binding, specificity, and uptake by macrophages; and in vivo for the drug plasma pharmacokinetics after intravenous administration in mice.

results(i) The attachment of antibodies to D-SSL did not impair their chemical or physical stability and had a minimal effect on their size and level of loaded drug. (ii) The combination of specific antibodies and 2000PEG grafted in the liposomes improved the specific binding to relevant target cells by reducing the level of unspecific binding to nonrelevant cells. (iii) D-SSIL retained the prolonged circulation and slow clearance typical of SSL lacking the antibodies.

conclusionsSterically stabilized immunoliposomes exhibited stability, ability to recognize target cells, and prolonged circulation time. This study also shows that it is feasible to prepare them in pharmaceutically acceptable dosage form. Thus, further investigation for tumor targeting and efficacy is warranted.
