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

PARP inhibitor (PARPi)-based synthetic lethal therapies have displayed limited benefits in BRCA-proficient ovarian cancer. To potentiate the application of PARPi, an ultrasound contrast agent OLA-NDs for delivery of the PARPi olaparib (OLA) was established for enhancing DNA damage by blocking DNA repair. OLA-NDs were endowed with endogenous pH- and exogenous ultrasound (US)-responsiveness to target tumors, as well as contrast-enhanced US imaging for diagnostic and therapeutic integration. OLA-NDs could upregulate NOX4 to induce oxidative stress and sensitize BRCA wild-type A2780 cells to DNA oxidative damage through the utilization of ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD). In addition, the strategy further increased ROS production by interfering with mitochondrial function, thereby exacerbating DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and inducing mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. As a consequence, the combined application of UTMD and OLA-NDs demonstrated significant antitumor effects
