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

Gastric carcinoma (GC) remains a major global health challenge, requiring novel therapeutic approaches. This study investigates the efficacy of self-assembled M2pep-Cs NPs/Plerixafor nanoparticles in suppressing GC by targeting the CXCL12-CXCR4 signaling pathway and reprogramming tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to enhance anti-tumor immunity. The nanoparticles' physicochemical properties and biocompatibility are assessed using transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and biological assays. A GC mouse model is established, followed by histological and immunohistochemical analyses to evaluate tumor apoptosis and proliferation. Multi-omics approaches, including transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, identify key genes and pathways affected by treatment. Flow cytometry and ELISA quantify immune activation markers; while, cell migration and invasion assays evaluate tumor suppression effects. The results demonstrate that M2pep-Cs NPs/Plerixafor effectively modulates the tumor microenvironment, suppressing GC progression by reprogramming TAMs through CXCL12-CXCR4 inhibition, enhancing immune recognition and T cell responses. This study provides mechanistic insights and highlights the potential of nanoparticle-based immunotherapy for GC, offering a promising avenue for clinical translation.
