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

Introduction: Chemotherapy remains the primary treatment modality for advanced and unresectable tumors; however, its antitumor efficacy is limited, and it has significant toxic effects on normal tissues. Methods: To address these challenges, cell carrier- and nanomaterial-based strategies were employed in this study to engineer macrophages into functional "Trojan horses" loaded with ICG-CDDP mesoporous silicon nanoparticles, yielding an intelligent cell carrier chemotherapeutic drug delivery system with controlled light responsiveness and "on-demand" nanophotothermolysis capabilities. Results: Our findings demonstrate that the intelligent macrophage drug delivery system actively homes to tumor sites and that indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence can be used to visualize exogenous macrophages at the tumor site. In response irradiation of the delivery area with exogenous near-infrared (NIR) light, ICG generates a thermal effect, resulting in the lysis of macrophages and facilitating spatiotemporally controlled burst release of intracellular cisplatin, thereby precisely targeting tumor cells. Simultaneously, ICG can trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD) under NIR irradiation, transforming "cold tumors" into "hot tumors" and eliciting a prolonged antitumor immune response, thereby overcoming the limitations associated with chemotherapeutic drugs. Conclusion: This collaborative trimodal strategy successfully represents a triple breakthrough in precise delivery, spatiotemporally controlled drug release, and immune activation. It is an innovative solution for the precise treatment of advanced tumors and has substantial potential for clinical translation.
