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

Nanoparticle-based cancer immunotherapy has shown promising therapeutic potential in clinical settings. However, current research mainly uses nanoparticles as delivery vehicles but overlooks their potential to directly modulate immune responses. Inspired by the endogenous endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress caused by unfolded/misfolded proteins, we present a rationally designed immunogenic cell death (ICD) inducer named NanoICD, which is a nanoparticle engineered for ER targeting and retention. By carefully controlling surface composition and properties, we have obtained NanoICD that can effectively accumulate in the ER, induce ER stress, and activate ICD-associated immune responses. In addition, NanoICD is generally applicable to various proteins and enzymes to further enhance the immunomodulatory capacity, exemplified by encapsulating catalase (CAT) to obtain NanoICD/CAT, effectively alleviated immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and induced robust antitumor immune responses in 4T1-bearing mice. This work demonstrates engineered nanostructures' potential to autonomously regulate biological processes and provides insights into the development of advanced nanomedicines for cancer treatment.
