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

Microglia, the main immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS), maintain physiological homeostasis and react to pathological changes. Besides their neuroprotective function, they play a crucial role in brain tumor microenvironments such as glioblastoma (GBM), by composing up 40% of the tumor mass. Glioma-associated microglia exhibit a dynamic activation state characterized mainly by an immunosuppressive (M2-like) response, with a lesser contribution of pro-inflammatory (M1-like) response. Modulating microglial into M1-like phenotype offers antitumor response and a promising immunotherapy strategy against GBM. Nanoparticles can induce microglial polarization, also modulating pro-inflammatory responses for tumor suppression. Magnetically responsive nanoparticles are promising nanotransducers due to their remote-control capabilities via external magnetic fields, enabling precise therapeutic interventions. This study proposes a novel strategy that exploits lipid-based magnetic nanovectors (LMNVs) composed of a lipid matrix doped with iron oxide nanoparticles to induce M1-like microglial response through magneto-thermal conversion. Results demonstrated that LMNVs exhibit excellent biocompatibility and efficient internalization within human microglia (HMC3 cells). Upon alternating magnetic field (AMF) stimulation, LMNVs triggered a sustained increase in intracellular Ca
