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

Induction of potent immune responses toward tumors remains challenging in cancer immunotherapy, in which it only showed benefits in a minority of patients with "hot" tumors, which possess pre-existing effector immune cells within the tumor. In this study, we proposed a nanoparticle-based strategy to fire up the "cold" tumor by upregulating the components associated with T and NK cell recruitment and activation and suppressing TGF-β1 secretion by tumor cells. Specifically, LTX-315, a first-in-class oncolytic cationic peptide, and TGF-β1 siRNA were co-entrapped in a polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticle comprising PLGA, DSPE-mPEG, and DSPE-PEG-conjugated with cRGD peptide (LTX/siR-NPs). The LTX/siR-NPs showed significant inhibition of TGF-β1 expression, induction of type I interferon release, and triggering immunogenic cell death (ICD) in treated tumor cells, indicated via the increased levels of danger molecules, an in vitro setting. The in vivo data showed that the LTX/siR-NPs could effectively protect the LTX-315 peptide from degradation in serum, which highly accumulated in tumor tissue. Consequently, the LTX/siR-NPs robustly suppressed TGF-β1 production by tumor cells and created an immunologically active tumor with high infiltration of antitumor effector immune cells. As a result, the combination of LTX/siR-NP treatment with NKG2A checkpoint inhibitor therapy remarkably increased numbers of CD8
