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

The crucial role of intratumoral bacteria in the progression of cancer has been gradually recognized with the development of sequencing technology. Several intratumoral bacteria which have been identified as pathogens of cancer that induce progression, metastasis, and poor outcome of cancer, while tumor vascular networks and immunosuppressive microenvironment provide shelters for pathogens localization. Thus, the mutually-beneficial interplay between pathogens and tumors, named "pathogen-tumor symbionts", is probably a potential therapeutic site for tumor treatment. Herein, we proposed a destroying pathogen-tumor symbionts strategy that kills intratumoral pathogens, F. nucleatum, to break the symbiont and synergize to kill colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. This strategy was achieved by a groundbreaking protein-supported copper single-atom nanozyme (BSA-Cu SAN) which was inspired by the structures of native enzymes that are based on protein, with metal elements as the active center. BSA-Cu SAN can exert catalytic therapy by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and depleting GSH. The in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that BSA-Cu SAN passively targets tumor sites and efficiently scavenges F. nucleatum in situ to destroy pathogen-tumor symbionts. As a result, ROS resistance of CRC through elevated autophagy mediated by F. nucleatum was relieved, contributing to apoptosis of cancer cells induced by intracellular redox imbalance generated by BSA-Cu SAN. Particularly, BSA-Cu SAN experiences renal clearance, avoiding long-term systemic toxicity. This work provides a feasible paradigm for destroying pathogen-tumor symbionts to block intratumoral pathogens interplay with CRC for antitumor therapy and an optimized trail for the SAN catalytic therapy by the clearable protein-supported SAN.
