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

Bacterial extracellular vesicles are spherical, nanosized structures with lipid bilayer membranes and can suppress tumour growth in cancer models. However, the efficacy of some of these models is limited. One potential way to enhance their effects is by loading the bacterial vesicles with immunostimulatory molecules. We have here utilised synthetic bacterial vesicles (SyBV), previously shown to have anti-tumour effects but with reduced side effects. We hypothesized that loading SyBV with a STimulator of InterferoN Genes (STING) agonist can enhance anti-tumour effects. SyBV were generated from Escherichia coli membranes through cell breakdown induced by lysozyme and ionic stress. The produced nanovesicles encapsulated the STING agonist (SyBV
