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

Local immunomodulation can be a promising strategy to augment the efficacy and decrease off-target toxicities associated with cancer treatment. Pancreatic cancer is resistant to immunotherapies due to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Herein, we investigated a therapeutic approach involving delivery of a short interfering double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), specific to Bcl2, with 5' triphosphate ends, by lipid calcium phosphate nanoparticles, in an orthotopic allograft KPC model of pancreatic cancer. Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptors can bind to 5' triphosphate dsRNA (ppp dsRNA), a pathogen-associated molecular pattern, producing type I interferon, while Bcl2 silencing can drive apoptosis of cancer cells. Our approach demonstrated a robust enrichment of tumor tissue with therapeutic nanoparticles and enabled a significant tumor growth inhibition, prolonging median overall survival. Nanoparticles encapsulating dual-therapeutic ppp dsRNA allowed strong induction in levels of pro-inflammatory Th1 cytokines, further increasing proportions of CD8
