Living therapeutics of nonpathogenic bacteria as biosynthesis factory and active carriers for enhancing tumor-targeted therapy.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Anaerobic bacteria-mediated tumor therapy faces multiple challenges, including potential toxic side effects, complex manufacturing processes, and impaired hypoxic targeting. Here, based on the excellent biocompatibility and distinctive metabolic ability of natural anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) to dissimilate sulfate into sulfide, we construct in situ-biosynthesized ferrous sulfide nanoparticle-SRB (FeS@SRB) biohybrid to enhance tumor-targeted therapy. Interestingly, SRB acts as both a biosynthesis factory and active tumor-targeted delivery vehicles. Our systematic studies reveal that FeS@SRB has excellent biosafety and tumor targeting capabilities, achieving over 50% tumor delivery efficiency in female mice post-intravenous injection, which is 17 times higher than that of conventional chemically-synthesized FeS@BSA nanoparticles. Upon near-infrared laser irradiation, FeS@SRB hybrids exhibit synergistic photothermal-chemodynamic effect, amplifying oxidative stress to trigger tumor cells ferroptosis and apoptosis, thereby effectively suppressing both subcutaneous and orthotopic tumor growth. This SRB-based therapeutic strategy expands research into tumor-targeting platforms and the biosynthesis of metal sulfide nanoparticles for enhanced tumor therapy.
