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

Nowadays it is a big challenge to treat liver cancer, owing to the lack of efficient therapeutic paradigms. Currently, the first-line chemotherapy and immunotherapy often suffer from drug resistance, and severe side effects. The emerging Chinese medicine of Glycyrrhizic acid (GA) shows promise for liver cancer therapy, but often exhibits substantial toxicity and side effects. To explore efficient liver cancer treatment paradigms, herein, a "Trojan Horse" strategy is developed using biomimetic nanoplatform to deliver GA for dual chemo-immunotherapy of liver cancer. The nanoplatform (GANPs@COP) is composed of PLGA-coated GANP (GANPs@P) as the core, and hybrid vesicle (CO) of tumor cell membranes (CMVs) and bacterial outer membranes (OMVs) as the shell. In the nanoplatform, CMVs and OMVs contribute to tumor targeting and immunogenicity, respectively, while GA executes chemotherapy to locally destruct primary tumor cells. The nanoplatform synergistically ablate tumors by modulating tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment, promoting secretion of inflammatory cytokines, repolarizing macrophage M2 to M1, maturating dendritic cells, and eliciting CD8
