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

The immune checkpoint protein B7‑H4 plays an important role in the positive as well as the negative regulation of immune T‑cell responses. When expressed on cancer cells, B7‑H4 inhibits T‑cell activity, and numerous types of cancer cells use upregulation of B7‑H4 as a survival strategy. Thus, B7‑H4 is a potential target for anticancer drug therapy. Unfortunately, the cell biology of this molecule has yet to be fully elucidated. Even basic properties, such as the nature of B7‑H4 interactors, are controversial. In particular, the cis‑interactors of B7‑H4 on cancer cell plasma membranes have not been investigated to date. The present study used a proteomic proximity‑labelling assay to investigate the molecular neighbours of B7‑H4 on the surface of the human breast cancer cells SK‑BR‑3. By comparison to a comprehensive proteome analysis of SK‑BR‑3 cells, the proximity method detected a relatively small number of low abundance plasma membrane proteins highly enriched for proteins known to modulate cell adhesion and immune recognition. It may be inferred that these molecules contribute to the immunosuppressive behaviour that is characteristic of B7‑H4 on cancer cells.
