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

Cancer remains a global health challenge necessitating innovative therapies. We introduce a strategy to disrupt cancer cell redox balance using gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as electron sinks combined with electroactive membranes. Utilizing Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 membrane proteins, we develop liposomes enriched with c-type cytochromes. These, coupled with Au NPs, facilitate autonomous electron transfer from cancer cells, disrupting redox processes and inducing cell death. Effective across various cancer types, larger Au NPs show enhanced efficacy, especially under hypoxic conditions. Oxidative stress from Au@MIL (MIL: membrane-integrated liposome) treatments, including mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum lipid oxidation and mitochondrial membrane potential changes, triggers apoptosis, bypassing iron-mediated pathways. Surface plasmon band and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) analyses confirm electron transfer. A SiO
