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

Imbalanced redox homeostasis, involving either oxidative stress or reductive stress, can profoundly impact cellular functions, contributing to various diseases. While the implications of oxidative stress in the adverse effects of nanoparticles have been extensively studied, our comprehension of reductive stress within the context of nano-redox system interactions remains limited. Here we illuminate a domino effect initiated by the dehydrogenase-like activity of transition metal borides. Specifically, seven transition metal borides were identified to emulate the enzymatic activity of natural dehydrogenases, resulting in heightened levels of reductive constituents within critical biological redox pairs in cells. Mass cytometry analysis provides compelling evidence that reductive stress initiates an immunosuppressive environment within lung tissues, promoting the metastasis of breast cancer cells to the lungs. In summary, our study unveils the chemical basis of nano-induced reductive stress and establishes a mechanistic axis that interlinks dehydrogenase-like activity, reductive stress, immunosuppression and tumour metastasis.
