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

Delivering cancer therapeutics to tumors necessitates their escape from the surrounding blood vessels. Tumor vasculatures are not always sufficiently leaky. Herein, we engineer therapeutically competent leakage of therapeutics from tumor vasculature with gold nanoparticles capable of inducing endothelial leakiness (NanoEL). These NanoEL gold nanoparticles activated the loss of endothelial adherens junctions without any perceivable toxicity to the endothelial cells. Microscopically, through real time live animal intravital imaging, we show that NanoEL particles induced leakiness in the tumor vessels walls and improved infiltration into the interstitial space within the tumor. In both primary tumor and secondary micrometastases animal models, we show that pretreatment of tumor vasculature with NanoEL particles before therapeutics administration could completely regress the cancer. Engineering tumoral vasculature leakiness represents a new paradigm in our approach towards increasing tumoral accessibility of anti-cancer therapeutics instead of further increasing their anti-cancer lethality.
