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

Tumour vaccines are designed to stimulate the host's immune system against existing tumours or tumour recurrence. However, individual differences, tumour heterogeneity and side effects hinder the applications of current tumour vaccines and require the development of personalized cancer vaccines. To overcome these challenges, we engineered pyroptotic vesicles-extracellular vesicles formed during tumour cell pyroptosis-as a tumour vaccine platform. The extracted pyroptotic vesicles possess abundant tumour antigens and potent immune-stimulating ability and, loaded into a biocompatible hydrogel, they can be implanted into post-surgical tumour cavities to prevent tumour recurrence. The pyroptotic-vesicle-based vaccine outperforms both exosome- and apoptotic-body-based vaccines in inhibiting tumour recurrence and metastasis in different post-surgical mouse models. Mechanistic studies reveal that the pyroptotic-vesicle-based vaccine could stimulate robust antigen-specific dendritic cell and T cell immune responses against both artificial OVA antigens and cancer neoantigens. In sum, our vaccine platform can be tailored to stimulate robust antitumour immune responses for treating individual cancer patients.
