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

High intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level is characteristic of cancer cells and could act as a target for the efficient targeted drug delivery for cancer treatment. Consequently, biomaterials that react to excessive levels of ROS are essential for biomedical applications. In this study, a novel ROS-responsive polymer based on D-α-Tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) and poly (β-thioester) (TPGS-PBTE) was synthesized for targeted delivery of the first-line antineoplastic drug, paclitaxel (PTX). The resultant TPGS-PBTE NPs showed good ROS-responsive capability in size change and drug release. Compared to PTX, PTX-loaded nanoparticles (PTX@TPGS-PBTE NPs) showed enhanced cytotoxicity and higher level of apoptosis toward squamous cell carcinoma (SCC-7) cells. Tumor-targeted delivery of the NPs was also observed, especially after being modified with a tumor-targeting peptide, cRGD. Enhanced tumor growth inhibition was also observed in head and neck cancer SCC-7 murine models. In summary, PTX@TPGS-PBTE NPs can achieve good therapeutic effects of PTX against head and neck cancer both in vitro and in vivo, especially when modified by cRGD for active targeting, which enriched the application of ROS responsive system utilized in the delivery of anticancer drugs.
