Immunogenic Cell Death by the Novel Topoisomerase I Inhibitor TLC388 Enhances the Therapeutic Efficacy of Radiotherapy.
Article in Cancers, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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.
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
Rectal cancer accounts for 30-40% of colorectal cancer (CRC) and is the most common cancer-related death worldwide. The preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (neoCRT) regimen is the main therapeutic strategy for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) to control tumor growth and reduce distant metastasis. However, 30-40% of patients achieve a partial response to neoCRT and suffer from unnecessary drug toxicity side effects and a risk of distant metastasis. In our study, we found that the novel topoisomerase I inhibitor lipotecan (TLC388) can elicit immunogenic cell death (ICD) to release damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), including HMGB1, ANXA1, and CRT exposure. Lipotecan thereby increases cancer immunogenicity and triggers an antitumor immune response to attract immune cell infiltration within the tumor microenvironment (TME) in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, these results show that lipotecan can remodel the tumor microenvironment to provoke anticancer immune responses, which can provide potential clinical benefits to the therapeutic efficacy of neoCRT in LARC patients.
