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

Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, requiring the development of innovative and effective therapeutic strategies. Bio-functional nanomaterials, due to their unique physicochemical properties, offer a versatile platform for targeted drug delivery, controlled release, and multimodal therapies, thereby enhancing efficacy and reducing the systemic toxicity of conventional treatments. Independently, both vitamin D and vitamin K have demonstrated significant anti-cancer properties, including inhibition of proliferation, induction of apoptosis, modulation of angiogenesis, and attenuation of metastatic potential in various cancer cell lines and in vivo models. However, their clinical application is often limited by poor bioavailability, rapid metabolism, and potential for off-target effects. Specifically, by enhancing the solubility, stability, and targeted accumulation of fat-soluble vitamins D and K within tumoral tissues for improved lung cancer therapy, this review emphasizes the novel and cooperative role of bio-functional nanomaterials in overcoming these limitations. Future studies should focus on the logical development of sophisticated nanomaterial carriers for optimal co-delivery plans and thorough in vivo validation, aiming to convert these encouraging preclinical results into successful clinical treatments for patients with lung cancer.
