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

Chemotherapy serves as one of the most effective approaches in numerous tumor treatments but also suffers from the limitations of low bioavailability and adverse side effects due to premature drug leakage. Therefore, it is crucial to realize accurate on-demand drug release for promoting the application of chemotherapeutic agents. To achieve this, stimuli-responsive nanomedicines that can be activated by delicately designed cascade reactions have been developed in recent years. In general, the nanomedicines are triggered by an internal or external stimulus, generating an intermediate stimulus at tumor site, which can intensify the differences between tumor and normal tissues; the drug release process is then further activated by the intermediate stimulus. In this review, the latest progress made in cascade reactions-driven drug-release modes, based on the intermediate stimuli of heat, hypoxia, and reactive oxygen species, is systematically summarized. The perspectives and challenges of cascade strategy for drug delivery are also discussed.
