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

Nitric oxide (NO) treated radioresistant tumors by relieving hypoxia and blocking DNA repair, but its nonselective toxicity has precluded therapeutic use. Here, we introduce a radioresistant tumor-selective NO nanogenerator that releases NO exclusively within the irradiated field. We identified BNN6 as a uniquely radiosensitive NO donor and loaded it into Glucose-Regulated Protein 78 (GRP78)-targeted nanocarrier to obtain PBTN, exploiting the overexpression of GRP78 in radioresistant cancers for selective accumulation. Upon irradiation, BNN6 undergoes one-electron reduction to release NO exclusively within the irradiated volume. NO combines radiation-induced reactive oxygen species to form peroxynitrite, provoking tumor DNA breaks while simultaneously suppressing DNA repair. In CT26 tumor-bearing mice, the combination of radiotherapy with PBTN and anti-PDL1 antibody achieved a tumor growth suppression of 96.5% and 80% survival at 40 days post-treatment. This tumor-targeted, irradiation-triggered NO nanogenerator thus offers a safe, precise, and translatable strategy to overcome radioresistance.
