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

Breast cancer is a fatal malignancy facing human health, with most patients experiencing recurrence and resistance to chemotherapy. The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) greatly limits the actual outcome of immunotherapy. This study aimed to develop a modality of theranostics nanoparticles for breast cancer based on a near-infrared light-triggered nanoparticle for the targeted delivery of ginsenoside Rg3 and immune adjuvants imiquimod (R837) for effective breast cancer immunotherapy. Folate-receptor (FA) targeting IR780-R837/ginsenoside Rg3-perfluorohexane (PFH) @ polyethylene glycol (PEG)-poly (lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (FA-NPs) can be activated by near-infrared laser irradiation in tumors, which leads to rapid release of ginsenoside Rg3 and R837 in the regions with high expression of folate receptors and glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1). Meanwhile, the nanoparticles can be used as dual-mode contrast agents for photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging. This strategy provides a strong immune memory effect, which can prevent tumor recurrence after eliminating the initial tumor.
