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

A key challenge in clinical anticancer treatments is metastasis and recurrence, to address this challenge, it is crucial to develop combination treatment strategies that target different molecular pathways, considering the high complexity of tumors, as well as to create efficient drug delivery systems that enhance therapeutic efficacy and minimize systemic toxicity. Herein, two clinical small molecular drugs indocyanine green (ICG) and paclitaxel (PTX) were self-assembled into relatively stable, carrier-free nanoparticles (IP NPs) through a simple one-step nanoprecipitation method. The spherical IP NPs demonstrate excellent aqueous stability, tumor-targeted accumulation, and potent apoptosis induction. Combined with AKT inhibitor MK-2206, they effectively modulate survival pathways, suppress metastasis, and prevent tumor recurrence in rechallenge models. This synergistic approach achieves equivalent therapeutic efficacy at reduced doses, enhancing treatment safety. Encouraged by its effective therapy and sensitivity-enhancing properties, this study might show significant potential for malignant tumor synergistic therapy.
