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

Despite advances in combined photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic (PDT) therapy for melanoma, therapeutic efficacy remains limited by tumor hypoxia, intracellular glutathione (GSH), insufficient tumor targeting, and photobleaching of photosensitizers. Herein, tumor-targeting and GSH self-depleting hyaluronic acid (HA)/tannic acid (TA)-engineered Prussian blue (PB) oxygen nanogenerators (ONs) loaded with IR780 (IHTPB ONs) are developed to enhance synergistic PTT/PDT. The IHTPB ONs exhibit uniform morphology, excellent colloidal stability, acidity/GSH-responsive IR780 release, high photothermal conversion efficiency (60%), and outstanding photothermal stability. Importantly, PB-mediated GSH oxidation and TA-mediated GSH conjugation enable dual-mode GSH depletion, while PB catalyzes oxygen generation to alleviate tumor hypoxia and promote IR780-mediated singlet oxygen production. Following CD44-mediated cellular uptake, IHTPB ONs effectively deplete intracellular GSH and, under near-infrared irradiation, induce robust reactive oxygen species generation and hyperthermia, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid peroxidation, apoptosis, and ferroptosis. In vivo, IHTPB ONs exhibit superior tumor accumulation and significantly enhanced antitumor efficacy compared with free IR780 and non-targeted nanoparticles, resulting in prolonged survival of melanoma-bearing mice. This work provides an effective nanoplatform integrating tumor targeting, oxygen self-supply, and dual-mode GSH depletion to potentiate synergistic PTT/PDT for melanoma therapy.
