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

Immunosuppression is critical for tumor growth and metastasis as well as obstacle to effective immunotherapy. Here, we demonstrate that host deficiency in caveolin-2, a member of caveolin protein family, increases M1-polarized tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) and CD8 T cell infiltration into subcutaneously implanted murine lung carcinoma tumors. Importantly, increase in M1 TAM-specific markers and cytokines occurs prior to increased numbers of tumor-infiltrating CD8 T cells and tumor regression in caveolin-2 deficient mice, suggesting that an early increase in M1 TAMs is a novel mechanism, via which host deficiency in caveolin-2 inhibits tumor growth. Consistent with the latter, transfer and co-injection of caveolin-2 deficient bone marrow (origin of TAMs) suppresses tumor growth and increases numbers of M1-polarized TAMs in wild type mice. Collectively, our data suggest that lung cancer cells use caveolin-2 expressed in bone marrow-derived cell types including TAMs to promote tumor growth via suppressing the anti-tumor immune response and that caveolin-2 could be a potential target for cancer immunotherapy.
