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

Dendritic cells (DC) play a pivotal role in the tumor microenvironment (TME). As the primary antigen-presenting cells in the tumor, DCs modulate anti-tumor responses by regulating the magnitude and duration of infiltrating cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses. Unfortunately, due to the immunosuppressive nature of the TME, as well as the inherent plasticity of DCs, tumor DCs are often dysfunctional, a phenomenon that contributes to immune evasion. Recent progresses in our understanding of tumor DC biology have revealed potential molecular targets that allow us to improve tumor DC immunogenicity and cancer immunotherapy. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms that drive tumor DC dysfunction. We discuss recent advances in our understanding of tumor DC ontogeny, tumor DC subset heterogeneity, and factors in the tumor microenvironment that affect DC recruitment, differentiation, and function. Finally, we describe potential strategies to optimize tumor DC function in the context of cancer therapy.
