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 tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex structure comprised of tumor, immune and stromal cells, vasculature, and extracellular matrix (ECM). During tumor development, ECM homeostasis is dysregulated. Collagen remodeling by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) generates specific collagen fragments, that can be detected in the circulation of cancer patients and correlate with poor disease outcome. Leukocyte-Associated Immunoglobulin-like Receptor-1 (LAIR-1) is an inhibitory collagen receptor expressed on immune cells in the TME and in the circulation. We hypothesized that in addition to ECM collagen, collagen fragments produced in cancer can mediate T cell immunosuppression through LAIR-1. Our analyses of TCGA datasets show that cancer patients with high tumor mRNA expression of MMPs, collagen I and LAIR-1 have worse overall survival. We show that
