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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the predominant type of primary liver cancer and remains a major global health concern. Current therapeutic strategies-such as surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy-provide clinical benefits but are frequently accompanied by considerable adverse effects. Consequently, identifying alternative treatment modalities and developing strategies that allow the use of lower drug doses without compromising therapeutic outcomes are essential goals in HCC management. Among emerging nanoscale platforms, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted exceptional interest as promising candidates for targeted drug delivery in cancer therapy. Their inherent characteristics, including highly ordered porosity, large surface area, tunable cavities, adjustable chemical functionality, and remarkable drug-loading capacity, set them apart from conventional porous nanomaterials. Owing to their hierarchical architecture, MOFs are especially suitable for multimodal and synergistic anti-cancer treatments. MOF-based systems have demonstrated the ability to reinforce the performance of several therapeutic modalities, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and sonodynamic therapy (SDT), while also serving as efficient carriers for targeted drug release. Their structural versatility further enables improved drug stability, enhanced solubility, and controlled-release behavior. This review provides an overview of recent progress in MOF-enabled therapeutic strategies and discusses their potential applications in the treatment of HCC.
