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

Chemo-immunotherapy, combining systemic chemotherapeutic drugs and immune checkpoint blockers, is a promising paradigm in cancer treatment. However, challenges such as limited induction of immune responses and systemic immune toxicity have hindered its clinical applications. Here, a zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) that encapsulates mitoxantrone (MIT), an immune cell death (ICD)-inducing chemotherapeutic agent (MIT@ZIF-8), is synthesized using a one-pot aqueous-phase process. ZIF-8 serves as a dual-functional nanomaterial for chemo-immunotherapy: a carrier to enhance tumor uptake of MIT for improved chemotherapy efficacy, and a pyroptosis inducer to amplify MIT-induced ICD for augmented anti-tumor immune responses. As a result, in vivo administration of MIT@ZIF-8 markedly inhibits tumor growth in both immunologically "hot" colon cancer and immunologically "cold" prostate cancer. Moreover, MIT@ZIF-8 treatment increases the abundance of cytotoxic CD8
