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

Pyroptosis, a form of immunogenic cell death, can remodel the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment; however, its clinical translation is challenged by difficulties in targeted induction and biosafety concerns. In this study we discovered that geldanamycin (GA) can interacts specifically with arginine 207 (R207) in caspase‑3, and efficiently cleaved caspase-3, significantly inducing high-efficiency pyroptosis. Although high-dose GA promoted pyroptosis and antitumor immunity, physiological toxicity and the induction of resistance mediated by immune checkpoints including PD-L1 and CD47 limited therapeutic efficacy. To address this, we developed biomimetic dual-targeting microparticles(MPs)functionalized with anti-PD-L1 and anti-SIRPα nanobodies. This strategy synergized targeted pyroptosis induction with dual immune checkpoint blockade, achieving complete tumor regression, reduced physiological toxicity, and induced a potent effector immune response in murine cancer models, presenting a promising combinatorial approach for lung cancer immunotherapy.
