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

Self-tolerance, presumably through lineage-unbiased elimination of self-antigen-specific lymphocytes (CD4(+) T, CD8(+) T, and B cells), creates a formidable barrier to cancer immunotherapy. In contrast to this prevailing paradigm, we demonstrate that for some antigens, self-tolerance reflects selective elimination of antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells, but preservation of CD8(+) T- and B-cell populations. In mice, antigen-specific CD4(+) T-cell tolerance restricted CD8(+) T- and B-cell responses targeting the endogenous self-antigen guanylyl cyclase c (GUCY2C) in colorectal cancer. Although selective CD4(+) T-cell tolerance blocked GUCY2C-specific antitumor immunity and memory responses, it offered a unique solution to the inefficacy of GUCY2C vaccines through recruitment of self-antigen-independent CD4(+) T-cell help. Incorporating CD4(+) T-cell epitopes from foreign antigens into vaccines against GUCY2C reconstituted CD4(+) T-cell help, revealing the latent functional capacity of GUCY2C-specific CD8(+) T- and B-cell pools, producing durable antitumor immunity without autoimmunity. Incorporating CD4(+) T-cell epitopes from foreign antigens into vaccines targeting self-antigens in melanoma (Trp2) and breast cancer (Her2) produced similar results, suggesting selective CD4(+) T-cell tolerance underlies ineffective vaccination against many cancer antigens. Thus, identification of self-antigens characterized by selective CD4(+) T-cell tolerance and abrogation of such tolerance through self-antigen-independent T-cell help is essential for future immunotherapeutics.
