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

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are key factors involved in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. This study developed a hollow mesoporous silica-Prussian blue (HMSNs-PB) nanozyme delivery platform loaded with metformin (HPB@MET), which enhances ROS levels within tumor cells through peroxidase-like (POD) activity. Moreover, in the acidic microenvironment of tumors, HPB@MET disintegrates, and the released MET causes mitochondrial dysfunction and increased electron leakage, ultimately promoting the abnormal accumulation of ROS in the TME. In vitro experiments demonstrate that HPB@MET achieves peak cellular uptake at 72 h and significantly inhibits tumor cell proliferation through its exceptional ROS-generating capacity. In the K7M2 osteosarcoma model (initial tumor volume 80 mm
