Macrophage-Based Nanoplatforms for Tumor-Targeted Drug Delivery and Cancer Immunomodulation: Extracellular Vesicles, Membrane-Coated Nanoparticles, and Live Cells.
Review in International journal of nanomedicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Macrophages are highly plastic immune cells with tumor-homing capacity and immunomodulatory functions, making macrophage-based nanoplatforms attractive for cancer immunotherapy. Macrophage-based nanoplatforms include macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), macrophage membrane-coated nanoparticles, and live macrophage carriers. The platforms combine the biological properties of macrophages with the advantages offered by nanocarriers to achieve targeted delivery and immune regulation. Beyond serving as delivery vehicles, macrophages can be therapeutically reprogrammed through strategies such as CD47-SIRPα blockade and TLR7/MyD88 pathway activation to enhance antitumor immunity. Despite promising preclinical outcomes, clinical translation of macrophage-based Biomimetic nano-drug delivery systems (BNDDS) remains challenging due to cytokine release syndrome risk, scalable manufacturing limitations, and species differences between animal models and human immunity. The review provides insights into the development and clinical translation of macrophage-based BNDDS for cancer therapy.
