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

Over the last decade, immunotherapy has emerged as a hopeful alternative in cancer therapy. Different drugs are used to stimulate the immune system and block negative immune regulatory pathways, known as "immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI)". Although clinical studies have reported efficacy and safety with the use of ICI, only a small group of patients have obtained a clinical benefit. Because of this, immunomodulation based on immunogenic cell death produced by radiotherapy (RT) has been well positioned as an alternative to increase the clinical effect on the primary neoplasm, but also in distant tumours, a phenomenon known as the "abscopal effect". Early clinical outcomes with RT-ICI combination are promising, but the rate of abscopal responses remains low. These developments have opened a path to evaluate the use of nanotechnology as antigen-capturing nanoparticles (AC-NPs) for improving clinical outcomes in metastatic disease treated with RT-ICI. In this review, we aim to highlight the basic characteristics of nanoparticles and its application in oncology, focusing on their potential to enhance abscopal responses.
