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

Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors are integral to contemporary cancer immunotherapy. However, their objective response rate in microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer (MSS CRC) remains below 5 %. This limited efficacy is primarily due to insufficient tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), a consequence of the combined effects of low tumor immunogenicity and impaired dendritic cell (DC)-mediated antigen presentation. The combination of ursolic acid (Ua) and ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) enhances TIL infiltration by inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumor cells and promoting DC maturation. Due to their poor oral bioavailability, an oral ZIF nanoplatform was engineered with a chitosan oligosaccharide (Cos) and inulin (In) bilayer coating [(In/Cos)@Ua-Rg3-ZIF] for targeted delivery of Ua and Rg3 to the CRC microenvironment. Efficient dual-drug co-loading was achieved with a loading efficiency of 24.07 wt%. After oral administration, the (In/Cos) coating protects the formulation from degradation in the upper gastrointestinal tract, while specific enzymatic cleavage by colonic microbiota releases Ua-Rg3-ZIF into tumor tissues. The ZIF platform responds to elevated adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the tumor microenvironment, enabling controlled release of Ua and Rg3 to enhance cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) levels.
