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

Spatiotemporally-tailored activation of dendritic cells (DC) in lymph nodes (LN) remains a critical challenge for effective cancer vaccination therapy. In this study, we show that photo/sonodynamic effect can trigger the nuclear transcription factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathways activation in DC. We engineers a library of spatiotemporally-tailored STING nanoadjuvants (SNA) by conjugating the photo/sonosensitizer and STING agonist onto the biodegradable polypeptide, and co-assembling with charge-modified polypeptides. The combination of antigen-loaded SNA vaccine (SNVac) with laser irradiation or ultrasound stimulation (namely SNVac-L or SNVac-US) efficiently facilitates DC activation and induces antigen-specific CD8
