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

Checkpoint blockade therapies that target inhibitory receptors on T cells have revolutionized clinical oncology. Antibodies targeting CTLA-4 or the PD-1/PD-L1 axis are now successfully used alone or in combination with chemotherapy for numerous tumor types. Despite the clinical success of checkpoint blockade therapies, tumors exploit multiple mechanisms to escape or subvert the anti-tumor T cell response. Within the tumor microenvironment, tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) can suppress T cell responses and facilitate tumor growth in various ways, ultimately debilitating clinical responses to T cell checkpoint inhibitors. There is therefore significant interest in identifying biologicals and drugs that target immunosuppressive TAM within the tumor microenvironment and can be combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Here we review approaches that are currently being evaluated to convert immunosuppressive TAM into immunostimulatory macrophages that promote T cell responses and tumor elimination. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a major component of the tumor microenvironment that impact anti-tumor immune responses and susceptibility to checkpoint blockade. TAMs are very heterogeneous and can be either immunosuppressive or immunostimulatory. Here, Molgora and Colonna review current strategies that aim to reprogram TAMs to enhance rather than inhibit immune responses.
