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

Paclitaxel is a widely used anti-tumor chemotherapeutic drug. Solvent-based paclitaxel causes bone marrow suppression, allergic reactions, neurotoxicity and systemic toxicity, which are associated with non-specific cytotoxicity and side effects of fat-soluble solvents. Studies have explored various new nano-drug strategies of paclitaxel, including nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) to improve the water solubility and safety of paclitaxel. Nab-paclitaxel is a targeted solvent-free formulation that inhibits microtubule depolymerization to anticancer. It is easily taken up by tumor and immune cells owing to the nano-scaled size and superior biocompatibility. The internalized nab-paclitaxel exhibits significant immunostimulatory activities to promote cancer-immunity cycle. The aim of this study was to explore the synergistic effect of nab-paclitaxel in tumor antigen presentation, T cell activation, reversing the immunosuppressive pattern of tumor microenvironment (TME), and the synergistic effect with cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs) in clearance of tumor cells. The effects of nab-paclitaxel on modulation of cancer-immunity cycle, provides potential avenues for combined therapeutic rationale to improve efficacy of immunotherapy.
