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

Background: Immunosuppressive M2 macrophages in the tumor microenvironment (TME) can mediate the therapeutic resistance of tumors, and seriously affect the clinical efficacy and prognosis of tumor patients. This study aims to develop a novel drug delivery system for dual-targeting tumor and macrophages to inhibit tumor and induce macrophage polarization. Methods: The anti-tumor effects of methyltransferase like 14 (METTL14) were investigated both in vitro and in vivo. The underlying mechanisms of METTL14 regulating macrophages were also explored in this study. We further constructed the cyclic (Arg-Gly-Asp) (cRGD) peptide modified macrophage membrane-coated nanovesicles to co-deliver METTL14 and the TLR4 agonist. Results: We found that METTL14 significantly inhibits the growth of tumor in vitro. METTL14 might downregulate TICAM2 and inhibit the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) pathway of macrophages, meanwhile, the combination of METTL14 and the TLR4 agonist could induce M1 polarization of macrophages. Macrophage membrane-coated nanovesicles are characterized by easy modification, drug loading, and dual-targeting tumor and macrophages, and cRGD modification can further enhance its targeting ability. It showed that the nanovesicles could improve the in vivo stability of METTL14, and dual-target tumor and macrophages to inhibit tumor and induce M1 polarization of macrophages. Conclusions: This study anticipates achieving the dual purposes of tumor inhibition and macrophage polarization, and providing a new therapeutic strategy for tumors.
