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

Immunosuppressive mechanisms within the tumor microenvironment have emerged as a major impediment to cancer immunotherapy. While a broad range of secreted factors, receptors/ligands, and cell populations have been described that contribute to the immunosuppression, the involvement of these processes in immune evasion by tumors is typically considered to be an intrinsic property of the tumor. Evidence is now emerging that the processes underlying immune suppression within the tumor are, in fact, triggered by immune attack and reflect a dynamic interplay between the tumor and the host's immune system. The term adaptive resistance has been coined to describe the induction of immune suppressive pathways in the tumor following active attack on the tumor. Adaptive resistance is a scalable process where the magnitude of immune suppression matches the magnitude of the immune attack; the net balance between suppression and attack determines the durability of the anti-tumor response and tumor outcome. In this chapter, we will examine the data supporting adaptive resistance and the opposing roles of T cells in simultaneously promoting both anti-tumor immunity and immune suppression within the tumor microenvironment. The clinical implications of adaptive resistance in the design and application of immunotherapeutic strategies is also discussed.
