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

Passive immunotherapy, including adoptive T-cell therapy and antibody therapy, has shown encouraging results in cancer treatment lately. However, active immunotherapy of solid cancers remains an elusive goal. It is now known that the human innate immune system recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns conserved among microbes or damage-associated molecular patterns released from tissue injuries to initiate adaptive immune responses during infection and tissue inflammation, respectively. In contrast, how the innate immune system recognizes endogenously arising cancer remains poorly understood at the molecular level, which poses a significant roadblock to the development of active cancer immunotherapy. We hereby review the current knowledge of how solid cancers directly and indirectly interact with cells of the human innate immune system, with a focus on the potential effect of such interactions to the resultant adaptive immune responses against cancer. We believe that understanding cancer and innate immune system interactions may allow us to better manipulate the adaptive immune system at the molecular level to develop effective active immunotherapy against cancer. Current and future perspectives in clinical development that exploits these molecular interactions are discussed.
