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

Various immune cells are recruited in the tumor microenvironment. It is well established that cellular immune responses, such as cytotoxic or suppressive activities, play an important role in regulating tumor growth and metastasis. However, the contribution of humoral immune responses against tumors is poorly understood. Fc receptors constitute critical elements for the up- or downregulation of immune responses through immune complexes. Here, we examined the potential role of the inhibitory Fc receptor, Fcγ receptor IIB (FcγRIIB), in tumor immunity using a mouse model. Our findings indicated that tumor-specific antibodies are induced in tumor-bearing mice and control tumor immunity. FcγRIIB deletion significantly improved both cellular and humoral immunity against tumors and delayed tumor growth. These findings indicated that spontaneous antibodies against tumors create a suppressive tumor microenvironment through FcγRIIB signaling, thus suggesting an attractive therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy.
