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

Lethal cancer is characterized by drug-resistant relapse and metastasis. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of a neoadjuvant therapeutic strategy prior to surgery that combines the immune checkpoint inhibitor anti-PD1 with a powerful immunostimulatory nanoparticle (immuno-NP). Lipid-based immuno-NPs are uniquely designed to co-encapsulate a STING and TLR4 agonist that are functionally synergistic. Efficacy of neoadjuvant combination immunotherapy was assessed in three aggressive murine tumor models, including B16F10 melanoma and 4T1 and D2.A1 breast cancer. Primary splenocytes treated with dual-agonist immuno-NPs produced a 75-fold increased production of interferon β compared to single-agonist treatments. Systemic delivery facilitated the widespread deposition of immuno-NPs in the perivascular space throughout the tumor mass and their preferential uptake by tumor-resident antigen-presenting cells. Our findings strongly suggested that immuno-NPs, when administered in combination with anti-PD1, harnessed and activated the otherwise "exhausted" CD8
