An Engineered Probiotic Consortium Based on Quorum-Sensing for Colorectal Cancer Immunotherapy.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Recent progress in synthetic biology has empowered engineered probiotics to sense tumor-specific physicochemical signals, thereby facilitating targeted in situ drug delivery. Here, an engineered probiotic consortium capable of integrating multiple tumor microenvironment (TME) signals and orchestrating multi-therapeutic payloads release through an orthogonal quorum-sensing system is designed. The probiotic consortium can respond to three characteristic TME parameters, pH, hypoxia, and high-lactate levels, in order to achieve controlled release of lactate depletion enzyme (LdhA) for metabolic environment improvement and the programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) nanobody for immune checkpoint inhibition. Using the humanized PD-1 mouse model bearing hPD-L1 MC38 tumor and the humanized peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) mouse model bearing HT-29 tumor, it is demonstrated that this self-regulating microbial consortium achieves sustained oscillations and significantly suppresses tumor progression. Mechanistic studies reveal that the antitumor efficacy activates CD8
