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

Immunotherapy has been widely investigated for its potential use in cancer therapy and it becomes more and more apparent that the selection of target antigens is essential for its efficacy. Indeed, limited clinical efficacy is partly due to immune evasion mechanisms of neoplastic cells, e.g. downregulation of expression or presentation of the respective antigens. Consequently, antigens contributing to tumor cell survival seem to be more suitable therapeutic targets. However, even such antigens may be subject to immune evasion due to impaired processing and cell surface expression. Since development and progression of tumors is not only dependent on cancer cells themselves but also on the active contribution of the stromal cells, e.g. by secreting growth supporting factors, enzymes degrading the extracellular matrix or angiogenic factors, the tumor stroma may also serve as a target for immune intervention. To this end several antigens have been identified which are induced or upregulated on the tumor stroma. Tumor stroma-associated antigens are characterized by an otherwise restricted expression pattern, particularly with respect to differentiated tissues, and they have been successfully targeted by passive and active immunotherapy in preclinical models. Moreover, some of these strategies have already been translated into clinical trials.
