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

An ideal radioimmunotherapy eradicates primary tumors and drives immune clearance of residual or metastatic tumor cells, but its clinical translation is severely limited by systemic immune toxicity and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we constructed engineered Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 with a tannic acid-mediated boronophenylalanine coating and a radiation-responsive genetic circuit, enabling TME-responsive boron delivery for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). BNCT-mediated selective tumor killing spared intratumoral probiotics, whose integrated genetic circuit was triggered by the low-level incidental radiation generated during the BNCT process, including γ-rays, to drive CXCL10 production, forming a feedback loop to remodel the TME. This strategy achieved robust tumor eradication, inhibited distal tumor growth and post-surgical metastasis in murine models, pioneering a BNCT-based radioimmunotherapy modality.
