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

Melanoma results in the formation of malignant tumors and is the deadliest form of skin cancer with high mortality rate. Immunotherapy for melanoma has made great breakthroughs in recent decades. However, low patient response rates and side effects due to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (iTME) and tumor heterogeneity limit the clinical application of melanoma immunotherapy. The tumor microenvironment (TME) exhibits characteristics such as weak acidity, hypoxia, and aberrantly expressed proteases. By exploiting these features, researchers have developed stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) to enhance antitumor immune responses in melanoma patients. This review aims to clarify how stimuli-responsive DDSs enhance melanoma immunotherapy and guide their use as therapeutic agents. We summarize the categorization and design of these DDSs, analyze their immune-enhancing pathways, and discuss current challenges and future prospects in the field.
