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

Nanomaterials-based theranostic strategy have emerged as innovative techniques for gliomas treatment. However, the existence of blood-brain barrier (BBB) hinders efficient drug delivery to glioma, and the hypoxic condition of tumor microenvironment (TME) significantly reduces therapeutic efficacy. Thus, in this study, we developed a novel reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating nanoplatform responsive to the TME. This platform utilized mesoporous PtNi nanoparticles (NPs) as carriers, loaded with chelated gadolinium porphyrin (Gd-HMME), to enable combined sonodynamic and chemodynamic therapy under magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance. Employing a transferrin (Tf)-mediated trans-BBB strategy, Tf-PtNi@Gd-HMME-PEG (TPGP) precisely targeted and penetrated glioma tissues, facilitating T1-weighted enhanced imaging of tumor regions. The MRI enhancement signal achieved was 1.64-fold of the control group. Concurrently, the intrinsic acoustic sensitivity and enzyme-like catalytic activity of TPGP produce substantial ROS under ultrasound stimulation. These ROS interact with hydrogen peroxide in the TME to generate toxic free radicals, collectively acting on tumor cells to deliver a dual assault via sonodynamic and chemodynamic mechanisms to effectively inhibit tumor growth and ameliorate the tumor microenvironment. This study underscores the potential of TPGP as a multifunctional nanoplatform for targeted glioma therapy, combining diagnostic imaging with synergistic therapy to overcome the BBB and hypoxic TME.
