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

It is well established that the immune system has the capacity to attack malignant cells. During malignant transformation cells acquire numerous molecular and biochemical changes that render them potentially vulnerable to immune cells. Yet it is self-evident that a growing tumour has managed to evade these host defence mechanisms. The exact ways in which the immune system interacts with tumour cells and how cancers are able to escape immunological eradication have only recently started to be fully elucidated. Understanding the relationship between the tumour and the anti-tumour immune response and how this can be altered with conventional treatments and immune-targeted therapies is crucial to developing new treatments for patients with cancer. In this review, focusing on the anti-tumour T-cell response, we summarize our understanding of how tumours, cancer treatments and the immune system interact, how tumours evade the immune response and how this process could be manipulated for the benefit of patients with cancer.
