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

Low immunogenicity and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) are two pivotal factors restricting tumor immunotherapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) directly destroys cancer cells by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), and enhances the immunogenicity of "cold" tumors by inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD), thereby promoting T cell development against tumors. However, PDT also deteriorates immunosuppression through overactivating the cyclooxygenase-2/prostaglandin E2 (COX-2/PGE2) pathway. To this end, biocompatible albumin nanoassemblies co-delivering IR780 and diclofenac are herein developed for enhanced therapy against triple-negative breast cancer. PDT-exacerbated PGE2 overexpression is effectively abolished by diclofenac-mediated COX-2 inhibition, which reprograms immunosuppressive TME
