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

YAP is a transcriptional coactivator of the Hippo signaling pathway that has largely been studied for its role in the regulation of organ size during development. Several studies have shown that YAP is upregulated in cancer cells, and more recently in the T regulatory (Treg) subset of CD4+ cells. These observations suggest that the transcriptional co-activator may promote tumor persistence and progression. Here, we report that YAP also plays an immunoinhibitory role in CD8 T cells, especially in activated cytotoxic cells usually found in the tumor microenvironment. Our findings add further rationale for the development and use of pharmacologic inhibitors of YAP to treat cancer.
