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

Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) as stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonists capable of inducing strong antitumor innate immune response are highly promising for tumor immunotherapy. The efficacy of these CDNs is, however, reduced greatly by their fast clearance, poor cell uptake and inefficient cytosolic transportation. Here, we report that reduction-responsive biodegradable chimaeric polymersomes (CPs) markedly enhance tumor retention and cytosolic delivery of a synthetic CDN, ADU-S100, and bolster STING pathway activation in the tumor microenvironment and tumor draining lymph nodes, giving significantly better tumor repression and survival of B16F10 melanoma-bearing mice compared with free CDN control. The superiority of CPs-mediated CDN delivery is further verified in combination therapy with low-dose fractionated radiation, which brings about clearly stronger and longer-term immunotherapeutic effects and protection against tumor re-challenge. The development of nano-STING agonists that are able to overcome the delivery barriers of CDNs represents an effective strategy to potentiate cancer immunotherapy.
