Advances in nanoparticle-based radiotherapy for cancer treatment.
Review in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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.
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
Radiotherapy has long been recognized as an effective conventional approach in both clinical and scientific research, primarily through mechanisms involving DNA destruction or the generation of reactive oxygen species to target tumors. However, significant challenges persist, including the unavoidable damage to normal tissues and the development of radiation resistance. As a result, nanotechnology-based radiotherapy has garnered considerable attention for its potential to enhance precision in irradiation, improve radiosensitization, and achieve therapeutic advancements. Importantly, radiotherapy alone frequently falls short of fully eradicating tumors. Consequently, to augment the efficacy of radiotherapy, it is often integrated with other therapeutic strategies. This review elucidates the mechanisms of radiotherapy sensitization based on diverse nanoparticles. Typically, radiotherapy is sensitized through augmenting reactive oxygen species production, targeted radiotherapy, hypoxia relief, enhancement of antitumor immune microenvironment, and G2/M cell cycle arrest. Moreover, the incorporation of nanoparticle-based anti-tumor strategies with radiotherapy markedly enhances the current state of radiotherapy. Additionally, a compilation of clinical trials utilizing nano-radioenhancers is presented. Finally, future prospects for clinical translation in this field are thoroughly examined.
