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

There is increasing interest in depleting or repolarizing tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to generate a proinflammatory effect. However, TAMs usually display an immunosuppressive M2-like phenotype in the tumor microenvironment. Apparently, developing a macrophage-targeting delivery system with immunomodulatory agents is urgent. In this study, an efficient siRNA and CpG ODNs delivery system (CpG-siRNA-tFNA) was prepared with nucleic acid stepwise self-assembled. The tFNA composed of CpG ODNs and siRNA showed a higher stability and an enhanced cellular uptake efficiency. Moreover, the CpG-siRNA-tFNA effectively reprogrammed TAMs toward M1 phenotype polarization with increased proinflammatory cytokine secretion and NF-κB signal pathway activation, which triggers dramatic antitumor immune responses. Additionally, the CpG-siRNA-tFNA exhibited superior antitumor efficacy in a breast cancer xenograft mouse model without obvious systemic side effects. Taken together, CpG-siRNA-tFNA displayed greatly antitumor effect by facilitating TAM polarization toward M1 phenotypes in favor of immunotherapy. Hence, we have developed an efficient therapeutic strategy with immunomodulatory agents for clinical applications.
