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

A growing body of evidence suggests that macrophage immune checkpoint molecules are potential targets in the era of cancer immunotherapy. Here we showed that extracellular adenosine, an abundant metabolite in the tumor microenvironment, critically impedes the therapeutic efficacy of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against B-cell lymphoma. Using a syngeneic B-cell lymphoma model, we showed that host deficiency of adenosine 2A receptor (A2AR), but not A2BR, remarkably improved lymphoma control by anti-CD20 mAb therapy. Conditional deletion of A2AR in myeloid cells, and to a lesser extent in NK cells, augmented therapeutic efficacy of anti-CD20 mAb. Indeed, adenosine signaling impaired antibody-mediated cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) by macrophages and limited the generation of anti-lymphoma CD8
