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

Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of malignant tumors, providing tumor cells with energy and promoting immune escape through changes in glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism. Photothermal therapy (PTT) not only eliminates tumor cells through localized hyperthermia but also disrupts metabolic networks. However, the mechanisms by which PTT-induced metabolic perturbation engages antitumor immunity remain a considerable challenge. This review proposes that PTT interferes with tumor metabolism through organelle stress and synergizes with exogenous drugs to enhance metabolic perturbation, thereby eliciting a potent antitumor immune response. We first detail how hyperthermia and ROS induced by PTT damage organelles, leading to organelle stress, including mitochondrial depolarization, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteotoxicity, cytosolic enzyme denaturation, and nucleolar stress. Critically, stressed organelles release immunogenic signals, activating the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway to trigger innate immune recognition, and regulating the functions of CD8
