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

Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonists have attracted notable attention for their potent immune activation capabilities. However, their clinical application is hindered by systemic toxicity and delivery inefficiencies. We addressed these challenges by developing a lymph node-targeted STING agonist nanoadjuvant (Mn/MSA-2@Lipo) combined with a temporally optimized delivery strategy. Mn/MSA-2@Lipo uses manganese ions to amplify STING pathway activation while achieving efficient lymph node accumulation and antigen presentation. We first induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) through chemotherapy to release tumor antigens, followed by the administration of the nanoadjuvant at an optimized time interval, the approach effectively synchronizes dendritic cell (DC) antigen uptake and maturation. This combination therapy notably enhanced antitumor immunity in melanoma and breast cancer models, achieving complete tumor regression and inducing long-lasting immune memory, all while demonstrating an excellent safety profile. Our findings highlight the critical importance of delivery timing optimization, offering a promising strategy for the clinical translation of STING agonists and the design of advanced immunotherapies.
