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

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been widely employed in tumor treatment due to its effectiveness. However, the tumor hypoxic microenvironment which is caused by abnormal vasculature severely limits the efficacy of PDT. Furthermore, the abnormal vasculature has been implicated in the failure of immunotherapy. In this study, a novel nanoparticle denoted as Combo-NP is introduced, composed of a biodegradable NIR II fluorescent pseudo-conjugate polymer featuring disulfide bonds within its main chain, designated as TPA-BD, and the vascular inhibitor Lenvatinib. Combo-NP exhibits dual functionality by not only inducing cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to directly eliminate tumor cells but also eliciting immunogenic cell death (ICD). This ICD response, in turn, initiates a robust cascade of immune reactions, thereby augmenting the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). In addition, Combo-NP addresses the issue of tumor hypoxia by normalizing the tumor vasculature. This normalization process enhances the efficacy of PDT while concurrently fostering increased CTLs infiltration within the tumor microenvironment. These synergistic effects synergize to potentiate the photodynamic-immunotherapeutic properties of the nanoparticles. Furthermore, when combined with anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), they showcase notable inhibitory effects on tumor metastasis. The findings in this study introduce an innovative nanomedicine strategy aimed at triggering systemic anti-tumor immune responses for the treatment of Uveal melanoma.
