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

Infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes into hypovascular metastases offers significant potential for suppressing even the most intractable metastatic tumors, with dendritic cells (DCs) serving as pivotal initiators of antitumor immune responses during immunotherapy. However, the immune-privileged nature of hypovascular lung metastases combined with the inherently low immunogenicity of tumor clusters poses substantial barriers to effective lymphocyte recruitment. Here, a pH-responsive lung metastatic-targeted catalyst containing the tumor penetration polymer (TP)/solid lipids (SL)-coated Prussian blue (TP-SL@PB)-enhanced PD-L1 siRNA delivery and self-cascade antigen capture is developed for reprogramming immunodeficiency. Intravenously injected TP-SL@PB accumulated in the blood vessel-poor lung metastases via the organ-selective targeting and charge conversion of TP. In tumor clusters, SL@PB exerts catalytic and lysosomal escape effects, easily enhancing siRNA delivery and thus downregulating PD-L1. Catalysis also promotes the release of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), including neoantigens and damage-associated molecular patterns. Subsequently, both positive TPs and SLs on PBs can act as antigen sponges to deliver TAAs to dendritic cells, thereby inducing long-term immune activation. TP-SL@PB acts as a hypovascularized lung metastasis-penetrating catalytic nanosponge, selecting T cells to infiltrate metastases and enhance immunotherapy.
