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

Elevation of the levels of reactive oxygen species and other toxic radicals is an emerging strategy to treat certain cancers by modulating the redox status of cancer cells. The biocatalytic upregulation of singlet oxygen by neutrophilic leukocytes should utilize robust enzymes and design carriers with protective microenvironment. Here, we utilize GOx-CPO as integrated tandem enzymes to in situ generate singlet oxygen, which could be not only for oxidative cross-linking of injectable hydrogel carriers but also for continuous tumor treatment by adjustable bioconversion of blood oxygen, glucose, and chloride ion. The tandem enzymes self-restrained within peptide hydrogel exhibited superactivity for upregulating singlet oxygen relative to free enzymes, which also avoids the diffusion of enzymes from tumor. This work will not only deepen the study of enzymes in biocatalysis but also offer an enzyme therapeutic modality for treating cancers.
