Cancer Self-Defense: An Immune Stealth.
Review in Cancer research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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 hurdles in realizing successful cancer immunotherapy stem from the fact that cancer patients are either refractory to immune response and/or develop resistance. Here, we propose that these phenomena are due, in part, to the deployment/secretion of a "decoy flare," for example, anomalous cancer-associated antigens by the tumor cells. The cancer secretome, which resembles the parent cell make-up, is composed of soluble macromolecules (proteins, glycans, lipids, DNAs, RNAs, etc.) and insoluble vesicles (exosomes), thus hindering cancer detection/recognition by immunotherapeutic agents, resulting in a "cancer-stealth" effect. Immunotherapy, or any treatment that relies on antigens' expression/function, could be improved by the understanding of the properties of the cancer secretome, as its clinical evaluation may change the therapeutic landscape.
