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

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy elicits antitumor response by inhibiting immune suppressor components, including programmed cell death protein 1 and its ligand (PD-1/PD-L1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4). Despite improved therapeutic efficacy, the clinical response rate is still unsatisfactory as revealed by the fact that only a minority of patients experience durable benefits. Additionally, "off-target" effects after systemic administration remain challenging for ICB treatment. To this end, the local and targeted delivery of ICB agents instead could be a potential solution to maximize the therapeutic outcomes while minimizing the side effects.In this Account, our recent studies directed at the development of different strategies for the local and targeted delivery of ICB agents are discussed. For example, transdermal microneedle patches loaded with anti-programmed death-1 antibody (aPD1) and anti-CTLA4 were developed to facilitate sustained release of ICB agents at the diseased sites. Triggered release could also be achieved by various stimuli within the tumor microenvironment, including low pH and abnormally expressed enzymes. Recently, the combination of an anti-programmed death-ligand 1 antibody (aPD-L1) loaded hollow-structured microneedle patch with cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) therapy was also reported. Microneedles provided microchannels to facilitate the transdermal transport of CAP and further induce immunogenic tumor cell death, which could be synergized by the local release of aPD-L1. In addition,
