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

Introduction: Conventional oral nanocarriers for intestinal diseases rely on single-responsive mechanisms and target a single pathological stage, failing to address the inflammation-carcinoma continuum. Celastrol (Cel)'s oral translation is limited by poor bioavailability and lack of lesion-specific targeting. To overcome these barriers, we constructed a hyaluronic acid (HA)-functionalized platform featuring dual enzyme/ROS-triggered release and CD44-mediated active targeting (HA@Cel/NPs) for treating ulcerative colitis (UC), colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC), and colon cancer. Methods: HA@Cel/NPs were fabricated using β-cyclodextrin and 4-(hydroxymethyl) phenylboronic acid as dual-responsive linkers. Physicochemical properties, drug release profiles, cellular uptake, anti-inflammatory activity, macrophage polarization, and anticancer activity were systematically evaluated in vitro. In vivo biodistribution and therapeutic efficacy were assessed in UC, CAC, and colon cancer mouse models, with anti-PD-L1 combination therapy in the colon cancer setting. Results: HA@Cel/NPs exhibited uniform size (76.87 ± 2.65 nm, PDI 0.166 ± 0.012), stayed stable for 14 days, and achieved ~71% Cel release under high H Conclusion: HA@Cel/NPs offer a versatile, dual-route platform that bridges inflammation management and cancer immunotherapy, distinguishing itself from single-mechanism or single-disease nanocarriers.
