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

Tumor invasion and metastasis are the primary causes of cancer-related mortality and have a profound impact on patient prognosis. This review comprehensively examines the application of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) in anti-metastatic therapy and establishes a theoretical foundation for their clinical translation. A systematic literature analysis clarifies the structural and therapeutic profile of MOFs. These materials show significant promise for anti-metastatic therapy, leveraged by their high loading capacity, tunable responsiveness, and modifiable surface properties. This review discusses MOF-based multi-targeted strategies to combat metastasis, including tumor microenvironment modulation, targeting of key metastatic cells, and multimodal synergistic therapies. These approaches have demonstrated success in applications such as drug delivery, photodynamic therapy, and immune activation. The discussion further addresses critical challenges in biosafety and targeting efficiency for clinical translation, while recognizing how MOFs' structural versatility sustains their therapeutic development. This reviewaims to provide a theoretical foundation and practical framework for the innovative design and clinical translation of MOFs in anti-metastatic therapy.
