Sono-Immunotherapy Mediated Controllable Composite Nano Fluorescent Probes Reprogram the Immune Microenvironment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Article in International journal of nanomedicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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: Despite the clinical efficacy of immunotherapy in treating malignant tumors, its effectiveness is often hampered by the immunosuppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME). In this study, we propose the design of a nanoscale ultrasound contrast agent capable of triggering macrophage polarization and immunogenic cell death (ICD) for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through sonodynamic treatment (SDT) and immunotherapy. Methods: The re-educator (designated as ICG@C3F8-R848 NBs) is composed of the Toll-like receptor agonist resiquimod (R848) and the sonosensitizer Indocyanine green (ICG), utilizing nanobubbles (NBs) as carriers. The technique known as ultrasound-targeted nanobubble destruction (UTND) employs nanosized microbubbles and low-frequency ultrasound (LFUS) to ensure accurate drug delivery and enhance safety. Results: Following intravenous delivery, ICG@C3F8-R848 NBs have the potential to selectively target and treat primary tumors using SDT in conjunction with ultrasonography. Importantly, R848 can enhance antitumor immunity by inducing the polarization of macrophages from an M2 to an M1 phenotype. Conclusion: The SDT-initiated immunotherapy utilizing ICG@C3F8-R848 NBs demonstrates significant tumor suppression effects with minimal risk of systemic toxicity. The utilization of this self-delivery re-education technique would contribute to advancing the development of nanomedicine for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
