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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major global health burden, with limited efficacy of conventional treatments due to tumor heterogeneity, drug resistance, and systemic toxicity. Lipid metabolism reprogramming has emerged as a hallmark of CRC progression, influencing tumor growth, metastasis, and therapy resistance. Concurrently, nanomedicine offers innovative platforms for targeted drug delivery to to inhibit tumor progression by intervening in the lipid metabolism, including modulation of lipid synthesis, uptake, storage, and cholesterol metabolism. This review provides an integrated perspective, systematically summarizing therapeutic strategies and research progress on nanodrugs targeting lipid metabolic reprogramming in CRC. We highlight nanoplatforms engineered to deliver inhibitors of key enzymes and signaling pathways, such as PI3K/AKT and Wnt/β-catenin. Representative nanoplatforms are discussed to illustrate diverse strategies for regulating lipid metabolic vulnerabilities in CRC, such as carrier-free nanoparticles, RBC membrane-coated nanocages and cholesterol-responsive nanoparticles. We also discuss the challenges in clinical translation, including tumor heterogeneity, biosafety, large-scale production, and clinical validation. Furthermore, we provide insight into translational challenges, emerging trends, and future directions for integrating lipid-targeted nanotherapies into clinical practice.
