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

Immune system-mediated tumor killing has revolutionized anti-tumor therapies, providing long-term and durable responses in some patients. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway controls multiple biological processes and is frequently dysregulated in malignancies. Enormous efforts have been made to develop inhibitors against class I PI3K. Notably, with the increasing understanding of PI3K, it has been widely accepted that PI3K inhibition not only restrains tumor progression, but also reshapes the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. In this review, we focus on the pivotal roles of class I PI3Ks in adaptive and innate immune cells, as well as other stromal components. We discuss the modulation by PI3K inhibitors of the tumor-supportive microenvironment, including eliminating the regulatory immune cells, restoring cytotoxic cells or regulating angiogenesis. The potential combinations of PI3K inhibitors with other therapies to enhance the anti-tumor immunity are also described.
