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-derived microparticles (TMPs), extracellular vesicles traditionally obtained upon ultraviolet (UV) radiation of tumour cells, hold promise in tumour immunotherapies and vaccines and have demonstrated potential as drug delivery systems for tumour treatment. However, concerns remain regarding the limited efficacy and safety of UV-derived TMPs. Here we introduce a microwave (MW)-assisted method for preparing TMPs, termed MW-TMPs. Brief exposure of tumour cells to short-wavelength MW radiation promotes the release of TMPs showing superior in vivo antitumour activity and safety compared with UV-TMPs. MW-TMPs induce immunogenic cell death and reprogramme suppressive tumour immune microenvironments in different lung tumour models, enabling dual targeting of tumour cells by natural killer and T cells. We show that they can efficiently deliver methotrexate to tumours, synergistically boosting the efficacy of PD-L1 blockade. This MW-TMP development strategy is simpler, more efficient and safer than traditional UV-TMP methods.
