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

backgroundAn in-depth understanding of immune evasion mechanisms in tumors is crucial to overcome resistance and enable innovative advances in immunotherapy. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been implicated in cancer progression. However, much remains unknown regarding whether circRNAs impact immune escape in non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).

methodsWe performed bioinformatics analysis to profile and identify the circRNAs mediating immune evasion in NSCLC. A luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), RNA pulldown assays and fluorescence in situ hybridization were performed to identify the interactions among circIGF2BP3, miR-328-3p, miR-3173-5p and plakophilin 3 (PKP3). In vitro T cell-mediated killing assays and in vivo syngeneic mouse models were used to investigate the functional roles of circIGF2BP3 and its downstream target PKP3 in antitumor immunity in NSCLC. The molecular mechanism of PKP3-induced PD-L1 upregulation was explored by immunoprecipitation, RIP, and ubiquitination assays.

resultsWe demonstrated that circIGF2BP3 (hsa_circ_0079587) expression was increased in NSCLC and negatively correlated with CD8

conclusionOur results reveal the function of circIGF2BP3 in causing immune escape from CD8
