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

Previous fundamental or clinical trials of dendritic cell (DC) vaccine against pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) revealed the burgeoning neoadjuvant immunotherapy. Microarray studies indicated that multiple ingredients of the transfer growth factor beta (TGF-β) pathway were overexpressed in PDAC, which inhibited the intratumoral immune response. To explore whether the DC volume in tumor microenvironment contributes to the differentiation of T cell cohort and test the hypothesis that combining DC vaccine with TGF-β inhibitors will elevate the anti-tumor immune response, we managed to co-culture T cells in vitro with pancreatic cancer cells and DCs in different concentrations, and combine TGF-β blockage with DC vaccine therapy in a murine model of pancreatic cancer. In in vitro studies, we discovered that CD8
