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

Given the special microenvironment of solid tumors, live microorganisms have emerged as drug delivery vehicles and therapeutic agents. Here, an acid-induced therapeutic platform is constructed using attenuated Escherichia coli to express the cytolysin A protein. The bacteria can target and colonize tumor tissues without causing notable host toxicity. Bacterial infection can disrupt blood vessels and trigger thrombosis in tumor tissues, resulting in the cut-off of nutrient supply to tumor cells and the arrest of tumor growth. The expression of cytolysin A induced by the acidic tumor microenvironment further strengthens thrombosis and provides a complementary therapeutic option due to its pore-forming function. In a xenograft mouse tumor model, this strategy reduces tumor proliferation by 79% and significantly prevents tumor metastasis, thus paving a new avenue for bacteria-based tumor therapy.
