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

Previous studies have demonstrated that the combination of photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy and chemotherapy is highly effective in treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the clinical application of this approach has been hindered by the lack of efficient and low-toxicity drug delivery platforms. To address this issue, we developed a novel biomimetic nanocarrier platform named ZID@RM, which utilizes ZIF8 functional nanoparticles encapsulated with macrophage membrane and loaded with indocyanine green and doxorubicin. The bionic nanocarrier platform has good biocompatibility, reducing the risk of rapid clearance by macrophages and improving the targeting ability for HCC cells. Under the dual regulation of acidity and infrared light, ZID@RM stimulated the generation of abundant reactive oxygen species within HCC cells, induced tumor cell pyroptosis and promoted the release of damage-associated molecular patterns to induce immune responses. In the future, this technology platform has the potential to provide personalized and improved healthcare by using patients' own macrophage membranes to create an efficient drug delivery system for tumor therapy.Graphical abstract Scheme 1 Schematic representation of the synthesis of a biomimetic nanomedicine delivery platform (ZID@RM) and its application in tumor imaging-guided combination therapy.
