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

Despite significant progress in developing novel, efficient nanoparticle-based anticancer drugs, hepatotoxicity remains a major challenge. The liver, as the primary organ responsible for detoxification, is particularly susceptible to nanoparticle accumulation, particularly through the action of Browicz-Kupffer cells (B-KCs) and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). These phagocytic cells accumulate nanoparticles, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), which ultimately cause hepatocyte damage. In recent years, various nanoparticle modification strategies have been investigated to reduce hepatotoxicity. One of the most common and effective approaches is the PEGylation of liposomes and graphene nanoparticles, which decreases their uptake by the liver via the reticuloendothelial system (RES). Other strategies to mitigate hepatotoxicity are also being explored, including the incorporation of negatively charged lipids into liposomes, charge manipulation of inorganic-organic nanoparticles, the use of specific protein-based nanoparticles that selectively bind to cancer cells (thereby reducing hepatic uptake), the use of appropriate viral capsids in the production of virus-like protein-based drugs, and the manipulation of the size of protein, metal and graphene nanoparticles. Moreover, modifications aimed at pH-responsive drug release are employed in liposomes, self-assembled and graphene nanoparticles. This article discusses several types of nanoparticles used as carriers in currently approved therapies and explores potential strategies to minimize their hepatotoxicity.
