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

Chemoimmunotherapy has the potential to enhance chemotherapy and modulate the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by activating immunogenic cell death (ICD), making it a promising strategy for clinical application. Alantolactone (A) was found to augment the anticancer efficacy of paclitaxel (P) at a molar ratio of 1:0.5 (P:A) through induction of more potent ICD via modulation of STAT3 signaling pathways. Nano drug delivery systems can synergistically combine natural drugs with conventional chemotherapeutic agents, thereby enhancing multi-drug chemoimmunotherapy. To improve tumor targeting ability and bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs, an amphiphilic prodrug conjugate (HA-PTX) was chemically modified with paclitaxel (PTX) and hyaluronic acid (HA) as a backbone. Based on this concept, CD44-targeted nanodrugs (A@HAP NPs) were developed for co-delivery of A and P in colorectal cancer treatment, aiming to achieve synergistic toxicity-based chemo-immunotherapy. The uniform size and high drug loading capacity of A@HAP NPs facilitated their accumulation within tumors through enhanced permeability and retention effect as well as HA-mediated targeting, providing a solid foundation for subsequent synergistic therapy and immunoregulation.
