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

Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are promising as antitumour agents, but their clinical application is limited by toxicity concerns and unclear mechanisms. We engineered OMVs with cadherin 17 (CDH17) tumour-targeting nanobodies, enhancing tumour selectivity and efficacy while reducing adverse effects. These engineered OMVs function as natural stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonists, activating the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-STING pathway in cancer cells and tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs). Loading engineered OMVs with photoimmunotherapy photosensitisers further enhanced tumour inhibition and STING activation in TAMs. Combining nanobody-engineered OMV-mediated photoimmunotherapy with CD47 blockade effectively suppressed primary and metastatic tumours, establishing sustained antitumour immune memory. This study demonstrates the potential of nanobody-engineered OMVs as STING agonists and provides insights into novel OMV-based immunotherapeutic strategies harnessing the innate immune system against cancer. Our findings open new avenues for OMV applications in tumour immunotherapy, offering a promising approach to overcome current limitations in cancer treatment.
