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

We describe the synthesis of CpG oligodeoxynucleotide-coated Prussian blue nanoparticles (CpG-PBNPs) that function as a nanoimmunotherapy for neuroblastoma, a common childhood cancer. These CpG-PBNPs increase the antigenicity and adjuvanticity of the treated tumors, ultimately driving robust antitumor immunity through a multi-pronged mechanism. CpG-PBNPs are synthesized using a facile layer-by-layer coating scheme resulting in nanoparticles that exhibit monodisperse size distributions and multiday stability without cytotoxicity. The strong intrinsic absorption of PBNPs in the CpG-PBNPs enables ablative photothermal therapy (CpG-PBNP-PTT) that triggers tumor cell death, as well as the release of tumor antigens to increase antigenicity. Simultaneously, the CpG coating functions as an exogenous molecular adjuvant that complements the endogenous adjuvants released by the CpG-PBNP-PTT (e.g. ATP, calreticulin, and HMGB1). In cell culture, coating NPs with CpG increases immunogenicity while maintaining the photothermal activity of PBNPs. When administered in a syngeneic, Neuro2a-based, murine model of neuroblastoma, CpG-PBNP-PTT results in complete tumor regression in a significantly higher proportion (70% at 60 days) of treated animals relative to controls. Furthermore, the long-term surviving, CpG-PBNP-PTT-treated animals reject Neuro2a rechallenge, suggesting that this therapy generates immunological memory. Our findings point to the importance of simultaneous cytotoxicity, antigenicity, and adjuvanticity to generate robust and persistent antitumor immune responses against neuroblastoma.
