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

In situ cancer vaccine is a new method for cancer immunotherapy, however, the local immunosuppressive microenvironment of cancer tissue limits its immune response and therapeutic efficacy. The CXCL12/CXCR4 axis plays a key role in forming an immunosuppressive microenvironment. In this study, siCXCR4 (S) was used as an "immune adjuvant" and co-loaded with hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) to develop an in situ cancer nanovaccine (HCPT/S@CaP/HA) for synergistically inhibiting the growth, recurrence and metastasis of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). HCPT/S@CaP/HA actively targeted to orthotopic TNBC cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), induced the immunogenic death of orthotopic TNBC cells to promote the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs). Meanwhile, HCPT/S@CaP/HA also reduced the secretion of CXCL12 by CAFs and silenced the expression of CXCR4 in TNBC tissue to bidirectionally block the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis, thereby synergistically reversing immunosuppressive microenvironment, enhancing the infiltration and activity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in orthotopic TNBC tissues, and subsequently inhibiting the growth of orthotopic TNBC. Moreover, HCPT/S@CaP/HA inhibited the recurrence of TNBC by synergistically increasing the percentage of memory T lymphocytes in the spleen tissue of mice, and it diminished the spontaneous lung metastasis of orthotopic TNBC by promoting the presentation of TNBC antigens and activating TNBC-specific immune responses immune responses. HCPT/S@CaP/HA is a potential in situ cancer nanovaccine for the immunotherapy of TNBC.
