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

Systemic application of Toll-like receptor 7/8 (TLR7/8) agonists against cancer is severely limited due to uncontrolled immune activation. In this study, a platinum(IV)-based prodrug strategy is developed for the systemic administration of a TLR7/8 agonist, selectively activated in the malignant tissue simultaneously with the immunogenic cell death inducer oxaliplatin. Two oxaliplatin(IV)-based complexes are synthesized comprising the TLR7/8 agonist gardiquimod: Ox-Gardi-PEG, containing polyethylene glycol as the second axial ligand, and Ox-Gardi-Mal, a maleimide-bearing derivative to exploit the tumor-targeting effects of serum albumin. In vitro, cytotoxicity and immune pathway-inducing potency of Ox-Gardi-PEG and Ox-Gardi-Mal are diminished under standard cell culture conditions compared to free oxaliplatin and gardiquimod, respectively, and markedly enhanced under reducing conditions, underscoring the activation-by-reduction concept. In vivo, Ox-Gardi-Mal shows superior and TLR7/8 signaling-dependent anticancer efficacy and prolongs overall survival of cancer-bearing mice, while mitigating hematotoxic effects associated with oxaliplatin. Therapy significantly elevates expression of MHC-I on antigen-presenting immune cell subsets, increases the frequency of activated plasmacytoid dendritic cells and tumor-infiltrating CD8
