Macrophage membrane-functionalized nanotherapeutics for tumor targeted therapy.
Review in Theranostics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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 is a multifaceted disease characterized by uncontrollable cell growth. To date, various therapies are employed including conventional chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, and immunotherapies. However, these approaches still present significant limitations. Interestingly, macrophage membranes utilize their innate antigen recognition affinity to facilitate targeted localization to tumor sites with high specificity. As a result, they display distinct characteristics such as avoiding premature leakage, tumor targeting ability, immune evasion, immune system activation, tumor-infiltrating ability, improved cell endocytosis and release payload in tumor-microenvironment. In this paper, the recent advances in macrophage-membrane-encapsulated nanotherapeutics for targeted cancer therapy are presented. We begin by introducing macrophage membrane-encapsulated nanotherapeutics preparation and characterization, followed by cancer immunotherapy such as macrophage polarization, T-cell infiltration, macrophage membrane modification, immunization, and inducing immunological cell death. Lastly, a future perspective is proposed to highlight the limitations of macrophage membrane-encapsulated nanotherapeutics and the possible resolutions toward the clinical transformation of currently developed biomimetic chemotherapies. We believe this review may be beneficial for improving the deep research of macrophage membrane-encapsulated nanotherapeutics for targeted cancer therapy.
