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 integration of therapeutic modalities to enhance cancer treatment efficacy and improve patient outcomes offers remarkable benefits over monotherapies and has attracted considerable attention. Herein, a synergistic anti-cancer therapy leveraging the benefits of physical tumor treating fields (TTFs) and dynamic piezocatalytic therapy (PCT) is presented, aiming to offer an optimized scheme while minimizing systemic side effects. First, a wearable ultrasound-induced wireless energy harvester based on biocompatible lead-free potassium sodium niobate-based piezocomposites is developed to enable efficient acoustic-to-electric conversion. The flexible printed circuit board architecture with two pairs of half-ring electrodes not only generates wide-anging alternating electric fields but also facilitates easy fixation and wearability. Second, biocompatible piezoelectric nanoparticles (NPs) serve as the piezocatalysts to promote the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and to directly interfere with biological processes. Finally, in vivo evaluations using mouse models demonstrate that the combination of ultrasound-activated PCT and TTFs significantly inhibits tumor growth and modulates the tumor immune microenvironment. Notably, prominent synergistic antitumor effects are also observed in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), highlighting a versatile approach to advance cancer treatment.
