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

The treatment of breast cancer largely depends on the utilization of immunogenic chemotherapeutics, which, as a common leitmotif, stimulate the exposure of calreticulin (CALR) on the surface of cancer cells, thereby facilitating their recognition by dendritic cells for the uptake of tumor-associated antigens and subsequent antigen cross-presentation to cytotoxic T cells. Breast cancer cells also express the calreticulin antagonist CD47, which inhibits tumor cell phagocytosis and consequently subverts anticancer immune responses. Here, we treated carcinogen-induced or transplantable mouse models of cancer by a CD47 blocking antibody that was at least as efficient as chemotherapy and that could be favorably combined with the anthracycline mitoxantrone in the context of carcinogen-induced orthotopic breast cancers. Monotherapy by CD47 blockade led to a reduction in tumor growth and an increase in overall survival. Of note, this treatment lead to a moderate depletion of M2 macrophages as well as close-to-complete elimination of regulatory T cells from the tumor bed, suggesting a strong favorable impact of CD47 blockade on the tumor microenvironment.
