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

T cell-based cancer immunotherapies have transformed oncology; however, their clinical benefit remains limited in immunologically cold tumors, where poor T cell infiltration and impaired effector function weaken endogenous tumor cell killing. Here, we developed GrB@A-nChap, a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-inspired nanotherapeutic that chaperones granzyme B (GrB) into the tumor cell cytosol to supplement deficient cytotoxic effector activity in "cold" tumors. Mechanistically, GrB@A-nChap protects GrB under physiological conditions, undergoes partial protonation in the mildly acidic tumor microenvironment to enhance tumor cell uptake, and further responds to lysosomal acidity to promote acidity-dependent lysosomal escape and cytosolic GrB release. Cytosolic GrB then induces mitochondrial dysfunction, caspase-3 activation, and GSDME cleavage, thereby triggering an apoptosis-pyroptosis cascade. This cell death process is accompanied by ICD-associated molecular signals and enhanced dendritic cell maturation.
