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

The ability of T cells to recognize a vast array of antigens enables them to destroy tumor cells while inflicting minimal collateral damage. Nevertheless, tumor antigens often are a form of self-antigen, and thus tumor immunity can be dampened by tolerance mechanisms that evolved to prevent autoimmunity. Since tolerance can be induced by steady-state antigen-presenting cells that provide insufficient co-stimulation, the exogenous administration of co-stimulatory agonists can favor the expansion and tumoricidal functions of tumor-specific T cells. Agonists of the co-stimulatory tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family members CD134 and CD137 exert antitumor activity in mice, and as monotherapies have exhibited encouraging results in clinical trials. This review focuses on how the dual administration of CD134 and CD137 agonists synergistically boosts T-cell priming and elaborates a multi-pronged antitumor immune response, as well as how such dual co-stimulation might be translated into effective anticancer therapies.
