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

Selective targeting of myeloid cells (MCs) holds therapeutic potential as an immuno-oncology approach. However, MC targeting using existing gene delivery platforms faces many barriers to clinical use, such as production scalability and off-target delivery to the liver and non-MCs. Here, a novel peptide dendrimer-lipid (PDL) nanocarrier for systemic administration, which overcomes many of these barriers, is characterized. This MC targeting nanocarrier (MCTN) is self-assembling, de-targets the liver, and selectively targets the spleen and MCs within the tumor microenvironment (TME). MCTN is validated as a cancer vaccine platform utilizing full-length antigens, generating robust immune responses with broad HLA-haplotype coverage. Finally, using a payload encoding constitutively active interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5), MCTN is found to suppress solid tumor growth and modulate the TME by improving CD8+ T-cell infiltration while depleting immunosuppressive cells.
