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

Owing to the high penetration ability and the safety of ultrasound (US) of sonodynamic therapy (SDT), it has gained significant attention in tumor treatment. However, its therapeutic efficiency depends on the performance of the sonosensitizers. The hypoxic microenvironment and abnormal stromal matrix restrict the full potential of sonosensitizers. In this study, a US-activated bowl-shaped nanobomb (APBN) is designed as a novel sonosensitizer to enhance the SDT effect through various means. This enhancement strategy combines three major characteristics: relieving tumor hypoxia, amplifying bubble cavitation damage, and US-movement-enhanced permeation. The unique bowl-shaped structure of APBN provides more favorable attachment sites for the generated oxygen gas bubbles. Thus, when catalase-like APBN catalyzes endogenous hydrogen peroxide to produce oxygen, bubbles accumulate at the groove, preventing the dissipation of oxygen and increasing the number of cavitation nuclei to improve the acoustic cavitation effect. This approach differs from traditional SDT strategies because it couples the sonodynamic effect with reactive oxygen species generation and bubble cavitation damage rather than a single action. Additionally, the asymmetric bowl-shaped structure generates a driving force under the US field, improving the distribution of sonosensitizers in the tumors. Using US and photoacoustic imaging for dual localization, these sonosensitizers can improve the accuracy of orthotopic liver tumor treatment, which presents a promising avenue for the treatment of deep tumors.
