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

The TLR4/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway drives lung cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasiveness. However, no in vivo treatments targeting this pathway in lung cancer exist. Resveratrol, an anti-inflammatory compound, inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome but requires high doses due to its hydrophobicity and instability. This study aimed to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of resveratrol by encapsulating it in liposomes to effectively target the TLR4/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in lung cancer. In this study, the efficacy of resveratrol liposome was tested in vitro through cell proliferation and migration assays and gene expression analysis. In vivo effects were evaluated in a lung cancer mouse model using histological and molecular techniques. Resveratrol liposome significantly inhibited lung cancer cell proliferation and migration, and induced apoptosis in orthotopic lung cancer models. Additionally, by suppressing TLR4/NLRP3 inflammasome-related genes, resveratrol liposomes diminished levels of IL-1β and IL-18 both locally at tumor sites and systemically, thus modulating the tumor immune microenvironment by decreasing MDSCs and increasing CD4
