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

The inhibition of dependent glutamine metabolism is an effective treatment for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) starvation, but it is limited by compensatory glycolysis and inadequate delivery efficiency. Herein, we construct a pH-responsive size/charge-reprogrammed micelle with hierarchical delivery characteristics for TNBC suppression with glutamine depletion and vessel blockade. It consists of a positively charged prodrug micelle chemically grafted with the glutamine transport inhibitor V9302 as the inner core layer, the neovascular disruptor CA4P adsorbed in the middle layer, and a pH-responsive peelable polymer as the outer shell. The nanosystem PPD/PPQV@C could effectively reduce size and reverse charge in response to the tumor acidic microenvironment by removing the outer polymer PPD, as accompanying the release of CA4P. Furthermore, the remaining PPQV could responsively release V9302 in the cytoplasm of tumor cells, improving the bioavailability of cargoes and overcoming permeability barrier through precise hierarchical release strategy. Importantly, V9302 and CA4P localized in the tumor intracellular and extracellular matrix could effectively block TNBC-dependent glutamine metabolism and inhibit compensatory nutrient by blocking angiogenesis, achieving the desired tumor suppression with prolonged survival time. This work exhibits a smart nanoplatform for efficient TNBC treatment via dual blockade of the dependent glutamine metabolism and angiogenesis.
