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 leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor 1 (LAIR-1) is an inhibitory receptor expressed on the majority of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and is important for the regulation of immune responses. The binding of LAIR-1 to its ligands results in the loss of immune function in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and a reduction in T cell function and immune responses of antigen-presenting cells. Using bioinformatics analysis, we showed that LAIR-1 is broadly upregulated in multiple types of cancer. By designing a LAIR-2-Fc recombinant protein to block the binding of LAIR-1 to its ligand collagen, we observed augmented cytotoxic T cell infiltration and function resulting in antitumor immune responses that eliminated cancer cells. Besides, LAIR-2-Fc fusion protein potentiated the antitumor effect of PD-1/L1 checkpoint blockade therapy. Collectively, our results support the targeting of LAIR-1 for potential immunotherapeutic applications.
