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

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world, resulting in over a million deaths each year. Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) are characterized by a poor immunogenic response, which may be the result of immunosuppressive factors such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE(2)) present in the tumor environment. The effect of PGE(2) in the suppression of anti-tumor immunity and its promotion of tumor survival has been established for over three decades, but with limited mechanistic understanding. We have previously reported that PGE(2) activates hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1), a hematopoietic-specific kinase known to negatively regulate T-cell receptor signaling. Here, we report that mice genetically lacking HPK1 resist the growth of PGE(2)-producing Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC). The presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and T-cell transfer into T cell-deficient mice revealed that tumor rejection is T cell mediated. Further analysis demonstrated that this may be significantly due to the ability of HPK1 (-/-) T cells to withstand PGE(2)-mediated suppression of T-cell proliferation, IL-2 production, and apoptosis. We conclude that PGE(2) utilizes HPK1 to suppress T cell-mediated anti-tumor responses.
