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

Immune checkpoint blockade therapy using programmed cell death 1 (PD1) or programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) has made significant progress in the treatment of advanced cancers, with some patients achieving long-term remission without clinical recurrence. However, only a minority of colon cancer patients respond to the therapy. Here, we report a protease-cleavable anti-PD-L1 antibody liposome, eLipo anti-PD-L1, for enhancing colon cancer therapy. In vivo, eLipo anti-PD-L1 is cleaved by legumain at colon cancer site into pegylated anti-PD-L1 and cancer-homing doxorubicin liposome. Functional assessments show cancer-targeting, legumain-responding, tumor-penetrating, and immune-activating effects, as well as efficacy in treating colon cancer-bearing mice in vivo. Further mechanistic analysis implicates genes related to T cell differentiation and T cell receptor signaling as potential molecular mediators. Lastly, human colorectal cancer tissue evaluations verify expressions of PD-L1 and legumain, hinting a potential translatability. Our study thus suggests that eLipo anti-PD-L1 may be a feasible vector for co-delivery of immunochemotherapy for colon cancer.
