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.
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
Neutrophils, as the most abundant immune cells in the human body, possess the inherent ability to rapidly migrate to sites of inflammation and infection. Novel drug delivery systems leveraging neutrophils capitalize on their natural targeting and phagocytic capabilities to achieve precise drug delivery. Efficient drug loading into neutrophils within neutrophil-based delivery systems can be achieved through physical adsorption, chemical conjugation, and phagocytosis. Design strategies emphasize carrier selection and targeting ligand design to enhance delivery precision. Compared to traditional drug delivery systems, neutrophil-based systems offer significant advantages, including excellent biocompatibility and strong tissue penetration. These properties can significantly improve drug bioavailability and reduce adverse reactions associated with non-target tissue accumulation. However, these systems also face several challenges that require resolution, such as difficulties in cell collection and preservation, the need for stability optimization, challenges in large-scale production, and a lengthy clinical translation cycle. In disease treatment applications, neutrophil-based drug delivery systems enable precise delivery of anti-cancer drugs to tumor sites, potentially disrupting immunosuppression of the tumor microenvironment and enhancing therapeutic efficacy. For brain diseases, their unique ability to cross the blood-brain barrier facilitates effective drug delivery. In chronic inflammatory diseases, neutrophil-based systems can precisely deliver anti-inflammatory agents to mitigate inflammation. Performance enhancements for neutrophil-based systems can be achieved by the development of novel nanomaterials and optimization of targeting ligand affinity, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of drug delivery. This review comprehensively explores the design strategies, advantages, challenges, and future directions of neutrophil-based drug delivery systems. It summarizes research progress in disease treatment applica-tions, aiming to offer key insights for the development of novel drug delivery systems and advance precision medicine and targeted therapy.
