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

Metastasis represents a crucial cancer progression and is promoted by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Modulating CAFs in distant metastasis is challenging due to their diverse phenotypes and the lack of effective delivery strategies. Inspired by the tropism of tumor extracellular vesicles (Evs) expressing specific integrins toward fibroblasts, we developed a labeling strategy for both tumors and tumor-derived Evs. Our modified nanoliposomes, by hitchhiking on these labeled Evs, concentrated in CAFs at distant metastatic sites while simultaneously targeting the labeled tumor. This Ev-hitchhiking strategy, in combination with the loaded drugs ATRA and lenvatinib, efficiently regulated the myogenic and inflammatory characteristics of CAFs, remodeled the metastatic microenvironment, and suppressed tumor growth and metastasis. The labeling and Ev-hitchhiking approach holds promise for enhancing tumor elimination and modulating CAFs or other Ev-activated cells in distant metastasis, offering a potential breakthrough in cancer therapy.
