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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive subtype of breast cancer that lacks estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2 expression, which limits the efficacy of targeted therapies. MicroRNA-34a-5p (miR-34a), a tumor-suppressor miRNA known for regulating oncogenic pathways, initially appeared promising as a therapeutic avenue. However, the clinical translation of miR-34a has been hindered by challenges such as poor stability, inefficient cytoplasmic delivery, and immune-related toxicities, as evidenced by the failure of MRX34 in trials. To address these limitations, this study developes a novel antibody-oligonucleotide conjugate (AOC) platform anti-CD47-miR-34a conjugate (aCD47-C-miR34a). The aCD47-C-miR34a system combines the anti-CD47 antibodies with miR-34a using a bioreducible linker, ensuring targeted cytoplasmic delivery via CD47-mediated endocytosis and endosomal escape. CD47, an immune checkpoint protein overexpressed in TNBC, facilitates immune evasion, making it an attractive therapeutic target. In preclinical TNBC models, aCD47-C-miR34a successfully restored miR-34a's tumor-suppressive functions by downregulating oncogenic pathways including PD-L1, while modulating the tumor microenvironment. This dual mechanism promoted macrophage phagocytosis, enhanced CD8
