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

Platelets play a critical role in tumor development, metastasis and chemoresistance, making the effective killing of tumor cells and simultaneously targeted disruption of platelet functions essential for improving cancer treatment outcomes, especially in post-surgical malignant tumor patients. Here, we develop soft hybrid microparticles (3D-PMPs) by fusing tumor-repopulating cell-derived microparticles with inactivated platelet membranes to deliver the anticancer agent doxorubicin (DOX@3D-PMPs). Leveraging their unique softness, DOX@3D-PMPs demonstrate superior tumor accumulation, deep tumor penetration, and enhanced internalization into tumor cells, leading to efficient tumor cell killing. Additionally, 3D-PMPs function as highly targeted platelet decoys to disrupt platelet-tumor cell interaction and reduce platelet-driven tumor proliferation and metastasis. Mechanistically, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) presented on 3D-PMPs is responsible for their platelet decoy function. DOX@3D-PMPs demonstrate significantly enhanced therapeutic efficacy in both orthotopic 4T1 breast tumors and post-surgical orthotopic 4T1 breast tumors. This work offers a novel and effective approach to enhance the therapeutic outcomes in cancer treatment, particularly in post-surgical settings.
