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

Phosphoinositide-3-kinases (PI3Ks) are part of signal transducing enzymes that mediate key cellular functions in cancer and immunity. PI3K-γ is crucial for cellular activation and migration in response to certain chemokines. PI3K-γ is highly expressed in myeloid cells and promotes their migration and the production of inflammatory mediators. We found that PI3K-γ was also highly expressed in tumor-associated B cells. IPI-549, the only PI3K-γ inhibitor in clinical development, offers a unique approach to enhance the anti-tumor immune response. We encapsulated IPI-549 in targeted polymeric nanoparticles (NP) and tested its activity in both murine pancreatic cancer and melanoma models. IPI-549 NP significantly decreased tumor growth and prolonged host survival in both models. Importantly, IPI-549 NP treatment reduced the suppressive tumor microenvironment by decreasing both suppressive myeloid and plasma cells in the tumor. We concluded that IPI-549 NP delivery could be a promising method for treating pancreatic cancer and other immune-suppressive tumors.
