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

Liposomal nanoparticles are the most commonly used drug nano-delivery platforms. However, recent reports show that certain pegylated liposomal nanoparticles (PLNs) and polymeric nanoparticles have the potential to enhance tumor growth and inhibit antitumor immunity in murine cancer models. We sought herein to identify the mechanisms and determine whether PLN-associated immunosuppression and tumor growth can be reversed using alendronate, an immune modulatory drug. By conducting in vivo and ex vivo experiments with the immunocompetent TC-1 murine tumor model, we found that macrophages were the primary cells that internalized PLN in the tumor microenvironment and that PLN-induced tumor growth was dependent on macrophages. Treatment with PLN increased immunosuppression as evidenced by increased expression of arginase-1 in CD11b
