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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is commonly classified as a "cold tumor" due to its low immunogenicity and poor response to conventional immunotherapies. Reprogramming the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) via cuproptosis presents a promising strategy to enhance immunotherapies. Herein, sono-activatable N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (TPEN)-encapsulated cancer-targeted nanoparticles (STCNs) designed to modulate the TIME and potentiate immunotherapy through endogenous cuproptosis are reported, termed "endogenous cuproptosis immunopromotion". STCNs are rapidly internalized by HCC via folate-mediated endocytosis, and ultrasound irradiation triggers the release of TPEN. TPEN then chelates Cu
