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

In recent years, ultrasound-stimulated microbubbles (USMBs) have gained great attention because of their wide theranostic applications. However, due to their micro-size, reaching the targeted site remains a challenge. At present, ultrasound-stimulated nanobubbles (USNBs) have attracted particular interest, and their small size allows them to extravasate easily in the blood vessels penetrating deeper into the tumor vasculature. Incorporating USNBs with existing cancer therapies such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and/or radiation therapy in several preclinical models has been demonstrated to have a profound effect on solid tumors. In this review, we provide an understanding of the composition and formation of nanobubbles (NBs), followed by the recent progress of the therapeutic combinatory effect of USNBs and other cancer therapies in cancer treatment.
