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 leading cause of cancer-related mortality, driven by complex interactions between inflammatory pathways, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and tumor microenvironment remodeling. Conventional therapies, particularly single-target oral chemotherapeutics, are hindered by poor bioavailability, systemic toxicity, and drug resistance. To address these limitations, we engineered KGM-PTX/CSM microspheres, a dual-responsive drug delivery system leveraging the elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in CRC and β-mannanase overexpression in the colorectum. The system comprises ROS-sensitive prodrug micelles (PSM) encapsulated within konjac glucomannan (KGM). PSM micelles were synthesized by conjugating hydrophilic chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) with the hydrophobic anti-inflammatory agent mesalazine (MSL) via ROS-labile thioether bonds, followed by paclitaxel (PTX) encapsulation. Upon oral administration, KGM undergoes β-mannanase-triggered degradation in the colon, releasing PSM micelles that subsequently disintegrate in the ROS-rich tumor microenvironment, enabling spatiotemporally controlled drug release.
