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

Transition‑metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively studied owing to their unique physical and chemical properties, ability to form a variety of nanostructures and targeting properties. After surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted therapy, immunotherapy has emerged as a major strategy for cancer treatment. In particular, immune checkpoint inhibition has attracted much attention in preclinical and clinical applications. The combination of transition‑metal NPs with tumor immunotherapy offers great potential. Therefore, the present review focused on four major transition‑metal NPs (Au, Ag, Cu and Fe NPs) and their respective categories, presented their characteristics and roles in the biomedical field and discussed their potential toxicities. In addition, the mechanisms of action of different tumor immunotherapies and the applications of transition‑metal NPs in tumor immunotherapy are discussed. The current status of, and challenges associated, with the clinical transformation of transition‑metal NPs in tumor immunotherapy are described to provide ideas for the subsequent development and clinical application of transition‑metal NPs.
