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

The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in triple-negative breast cancer could hinder the response to thorough immunotherapy and diminish the antitumor efficacy. Although the STING pathway emerges as a promising target to remedy defects, uncertain drug delivery might lead to off-target inflammatory reactions. Here, we manifest a novel phototheranostic agent with an aggregation-induced emission property that guided the pharmacological activation of a STING agonist for photothermal immunotherapy to create an immunologically "hot" tumor. A pyridinium rotor strategy is proposed to develop a positively charged TBTP-Bz, which is stably coincorporated with a STING agonist MSA-2 into thermal-responsive exosome-liposome hybrid nanoparticles for tumor-targeting delivery. TBTP-Bz exhibits aggregation-enhanced NIR-II emission and a photoacoustic signal, accomplishing real-time tumor tracking. Its photothermal stimulation induces immunogenic cancer cell death and promotes the precise release of MSA-2, thus boosting STING activation and STING-mediated type I interferon production. Significantly, single-dose photoimmunotherapy effectively suppresses abscopal tumor growth and provokes an immune memory effect to inhibit postsurgical recurrent and rechallenged tumors. This demonstrates promising clinical potential for poorly immunogenic breast cancer.
