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

Immune checkpoint blockade therapy, represented by CTLA-4 inhibitors like ipilimumab, faces limited clinical efficacy due to tumor immune evasion and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Particularly, metabolic reprogramming driven by hypoxia and the Warburg effect establishes an immunosuppressive microenvironment that inhibits T-cell-mediated antitumor immunity. To address this, we propose a "one-two punch" strategy designed to simultaneously enhance tumor immunogenicity and relieve T-cell suppression. This is achieved by a nanoplatform, ipilimumab&2-methoxyestradiol @PLGA (IM@PLGA), which co-delivers the CTLA-4 antibody ipilimumab and 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME). 2-ME acts to reverse immunosuppression by inhibiting the HIF-1α/HK2 axis and induces immunogenic cell death (ICD) and autophagic cell death (ACD) for antigen exposure and dendritic cell (DC) activation. Concurrently, ipilimumab depletes regulatory T cells (Tregs), enabling robust activation of primed CD8
