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 pyroptosis can promote anti-PD-L1 therapeutic efficacy due to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, but current approaches can cause off target toxicity. Herein, a phthalocyanine-conjugated mesoporous silicate nanoparticle (PMSN) is designed for amplifying sonodynamic therapy (SDT) to augment oxidative stress and induce robust pyroptosis in tumors. The sub-10 nm diameter structure and c(RGDyC)-PEGylated modification enhance tumor targeting and renal clearance. The unique porous architecture of PMSN doubles ROS yield and enhances pyroptotic cell populations in tumors (25.0%) via a cavitation effect. PMSN-mediated SDT treatment efficiently reduces tumor mass and suppressed residual tumors in treated and distant sites by synergizing with PD-L1 blockade (85.93% and 77.09%, respectively). Furthermore, loading the chemotherapeutic, doxorubicin, into PMSN intensifies SDT-pyroptotic effects and increased efficacy. This is the first report of the use of SDT regimens to induce pyroptosis in liver cancer. This noninvasive and effective strategy has potential for clinical translation.
