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

Background: Immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors, has become the standard treatment strategy for diverse malignant tumors. However, the inadequate infiltration of immune cells in tumors coupled with the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment severely hinders the efficacy of immunotherapy. Methods: A poly(ethylene glycol)- Results: NP/(DAC+DOX) exhibited excellent reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive drug release behavior and could be effectively taken up by tumor cells. Experiments both in vitro and in vivo demonstrated that NP/(DAC+DOX) effectively triggered pyroptosis in tumor cells, which was attributed to the DOX-induced activation of caspase-3 and the upregulation of GSDME expression caused by DAC. Following intravenous administration, NP/(DAC+DOX) specifically aggregated in tumor tissues. NP/(DAC+DOX) significantly suppressed tumor growth and extended the survival time of tumor-bearing mice. Furthermore, NP/(DAC+DOX) promoted dendritic cell maturation, enhanced the infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes within the tumor, and decreased the proportion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Conclusion: This study developed a ROS-responsive pyroptosis nanoinitiator to precisely induce the pyroptosis of tumor cells, thereby enhancing intratumoral immune cell infiltration and activating anti-tumor immune responses.
