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

backgroundAs an immune checkpoint that suppresses antitumor immunity, CD276 is a potential therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy. However, the role of CD276 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has not been thoroughly examined. A greater understanding of the regulatory mechanism of CD276 may improve the clinical response and efficacy of cancer immunotherapy.

methodsThe expression of CD276 was measured by qRT-PCR, IHC and flow cytometry analysis. T cell infiltration in ESCC was measured by qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence analysis. The regulation function of CD276 in glucose metabolism was examined by metabolism assays, western blotting and small molecule inhibitors. Transfection was used for gene editing. The oncogenic function of CD276 was examined in vivo by CAR-T cell therapy model.

resultsBased on our findings, CD276 regulated the expression of the

conclusionsOur results are the first to show that tumor-derived CD276 supports disease progression. Overexpression of CD276 promoted glucose metabolism in tumor and inhibited the function of CD8+ T cells. Therefore, strategies targeting CD276 might improve the response to cancer immunotherapy of ESCC patients.
