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

Curcumin (Cur), a natural bioactive compound extracted from Curcuma longa, has garnered extensive interest due to its modulation of inflammation, antioxidant, and anti-tumor properties. However, its therapeutic translation remains constrained by limited systemic bioavailability. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), an aggressive variant of breast malignancies, exhibits strong resistance to conventional therapies and poor prognosis. The present study was designed to clarify the mechanism through which NGR-modified nanovesicles loaded with Cur (NGR-NVs@Cur) reverse immunotherapy resistance in TNBC. Using transcriptomic and network pharmacology analysis, we identified key genes involved in TNBC development and immunotherapy resistance to determine the targets of Cur. In vitro experiments, including SA-β-gal staining, flow cytometry, and glycolysis analysis, validated that TNBC cells induce glycolysis and CD8
