Cascaded immunotherapy with implantable dual-drug depots sequentially releasing STING agonists and apoptosis inducers.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
Non-nucleotide stimulators of interferon gene (STING) agonists hold promise as immunotherapeutic agents for postsurgical adjuvant treatment of tumors. However, their limited effect duration hampers therapeutic effectiveness, necessitating prolonged administration of multiple doses that heightens infection risk and impacts patient compliance. Here, we develop an implantable dual-drug depot in a sandwich-like configuration, with a non-nucleotide STING agonist (MSA-2) in the outer layers of 3D-printed scaffolds and an immunogenic apoptosis inducer (doxorubicin, DOX) in the inner layer of electrospun fibers. We discover that MSA-2 can elicit endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated and general immunogenic apoptosis of cancer cells. The stimulations with tumor-associated antigens and damage-associated molecular patterns from cancer cells, along with proinflammatory factors secreted by matured dendritic cells and M1-polarized macrophages, can depolymerize intracellular microtubules guiding activated STING trafficking towards lysosomes for degradation. Collectively, the dual-drug depots can initiate a long-lasting cascaded immunotherapy and chemotherapy, suppressing postsurgical tumor recurrence and metastasis.
