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

Membraneless organelles form by phase separation and regulate cell behavior. We show that cholesterol-patterned AuNPs program nanomaterial-induced stress granules (NSGs) by lowering G3BP1 condensation barriers through a solid-liquid-liquid triphasic sequence: nanomaterials recruit hnRNPC, which then engages G3BP1 to nucleate gel-like condensates. We map NSG microenvironments (temperature, polarity, pH, and proteasome activity), uncover dual disassembly-a slow VCP/19S-dependent route and a rapid SUMO/20S-dependent backup-and show that NSGs remodel chemo-plasticity: they mitigate doxorubicin/cisplatin toxicity in normal tissues yet sensitize tumors to nocodazole in vivo. Local induction and selective dissolution of NSGs thus offers a strategy to decouple efficacy from toxicity. Our results establish design rules linking nanomaterial surface chemistry to condensate programming and provide actionable levers to steer therapeutic outcomes.
