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

Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are primary treatments for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but acquired resistance limits efficacy. To address this challenge, we developed CsO/IGA, a multifunctional nanoplatform combining osimertinib (AZD9291) with an indocyanine green-gadolinium (ICG-Gd) probe via oleanolic acid (OA)-modified chitosan encapsulation, integrating fluorescence/magnetic resonance imaging (FLI/MRI) with chemo-phototherapy and tumor microenvironment (TME) modulation. CsO/IGA (∼100 nm) demonstrated excellent stability and generated both singlet oxygen and hyperthermia under 808 nm irradiation. The nanoplatform exerted efficient anti-cancer effects to overcome resistance through reactive oxygen species induction, mitochondrial membrane potential reduction, and EGFR/phosphorylated EGFR downregulation in sensitive and resistant NSCLC cells. Notably, the OA component suppressed cancer-associated fibroblasts and α-smooth muscle actin expression, remodeling the TME to enhance tumor penetration.
