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

Despite considerable advances in cancer therapy, the intrinsic heterogeneity of malignant cells continues to compromise therapeutic efficacy with conventional monotherapies, driving the need for combination treatments to achieve more durable and complete responses. The limited efficacy of conventional chemotherapy is largely attributable to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, which is frequently perpetuated by epigenetic mechanisms, including aberrant DNA methylation. To overcome these limitations, we hypothesized that Decitabine (Dac)-mediated sensitization could dramatically enhance Sorafenib (Sor)-induced ferroptosis, and to test this synergy, we developed an innovative biomimetic codelivery platform comprising polymer micelles loaded with Sor surface-coated with exosomes encapsulating Dac (Exo&PM/D + S). This platform facilitates codelivery, enabling Dac-mediated DNA hypomethylation to remodel the tumor microenvironment and promote Sor-triggered ferroptosis.
