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

Combination therapies present a compelling therapeutic regimen against the immunosuppressive and heterogeneous microenvironment of solid tumors. However, incorporating separate therapeutic modalities in regimen designs can be encumbered by complex logistical, manufacturing, and pharmacokinetic considerations. Herein, we demonstrate a single-vector combinational anticancer therapy using an lpp gene knockout leaky probiotic for simultaneous secretion of immunotherapeutic and oncolytic effector molecules. Through fusion protein design and vector optimization, a Nissle1917 (EcN) bacteria vector is engineered to secrete Neoleukin-2/15 (Neo-2/15) cytokine-functionalized anti-PDL1 nanobody (aPDL1-Neo2/15) and anti-mesothelin-functionalized hemolysin E (HlyE-aMSLN). The multifunctional leaky probiotic enables synchronous immune activation and tumor-targeted cytolytic activity for effective tumor suppression, elevation of tumor immune cell infiltration, and establishment of anticancer immunological memory. lpp gene knockout is further shown to improve probiotic tolerability and intravenous applicability, offering a therapeutically viable approach for combination regimen development.
