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

The interdisciplinary development of synthetic biology and material sciences propels medicine into a new era. For cancer therapy, living biotherapeutics integrating functional living bacteria with nanomedicine are particularly interesting. The current study developed a living biotherapeutic platform integrating oxygen-self-supplying cyanobacteria with multifunctional prodrug nanoparticles to boost photodynamic immunotherapy. Generally, tetracarboxyl porphyrin is associated with cisplatin via a covalent self-assembly strategy into uniform prodrug-skeletal nanoparticles (ZnNCs). This helped encapsulate the antitumor drug dicumarol derivative (DicTBS). Later, these developed DicTBS-ZnNC nanoparticles helped arm the surface of cyanobacteria using electrostatic adsorption to yield living nanotherapeutics (Cyano@DicTBS-ZnNCs). Cyano@DicTBS-ZnNCs achieved a self-supply of nanoparticles and oxygen under 660 nm laser irradiation, producing PDT therapeutic effects. Furthermore, combining cisplatin and dicoumarol achieved synergistic anticancer effects. This approach also induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) and regulated the tumor microenvironment (TME). This promoted an immune-supportive environment to improve antitumor immune responses.
