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

Combined phototherapy and immunotherapy demonstrates strong potential in the treatment of metastatic cancers. An upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) based antigen-capturing nanoplatform is designed to synergize phototherapies and immunotherapy. In particular, this nanoplatform is constructed via self-assembly of DSPE-PEG-maleimide and indocyanine green (ICG) onto UCNPs, followed by loading of the photosensitizer rose bengal (RB). ICG significantly enhances the RB-based photodynamic therapy efficiency of UCNP/ICG/RB-mal upon activation by a near-infrared (NIR) laser, simultaneously achieving selective photothermal therapy. Most importantly, tumor-derived protein antigens, arising from phototherapy-treated tumor cells, can be captured and retained in situ, due to the functionality of maleimide, which further enhance the tumor antigen uptake and presentation by antigen-presenting cells. The synergized photothermal, photodynamic, and immunological effects using light-activated UCNP/ICG/RB-mal induces a tumor-specific immune response. In the experiments, intratumoral administration of UCNP/ICG/RB-mal, followed by noninvasive irradiation with an NIR laser, destroys primary tumors and inhibits untreated distant tumors, using a poorly immunogenic, highly metastatic 4T1 mammary tumor model. With the simultaneous use of anti-CTLA-4, about 84% of the treated tumor-bearing mice achieve long-term survival and 34% of mice develop tumor-specific immunity. Overall, this antigen-capturing nanoplatform provides a promising approach for the treatment of metastatic cancers.
