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

TLR7 agonists are considered promising drugs for cancer therapy. The currently available compounds are not well tolerated when administered intravenously and therefore are restricted to disease settings amenable for topical application. Here we present the preclinical characterization of SC1, a novel synthetic agonist with exquisite specificity for TLR7. We found that intravenously administered SC1 mediates systemic release of type I interferon, but not of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNFα and IL6, and results in activation of circulating immune cells. Tumors of SC1-treated mice have brisk immune cell infiltrates and are polarized towards a Th1 type signature. Intratumoral CD8
