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

backgroundAlthough immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has been proven to achieve a persistent therapeutic response in various tumor types, only 20%-40% of patients benefit from this treatment. Radiotherapy (RT) can enhance tumor immunogenicity and improve the ICB response, but the outcome achieved by combining these two modalities remains clinically unsatisfactory. We previously uncovered that lysine-specific demethylase 4C (KDM4C) is a regulator of radiosensitivity in lung cancer. However, the role of KDM4C in antitumor immunity has not yet been investigated.

methodsInfiltrating immune cells in our mouse tumor model were screened by flow cytometry. An in vivo subcutaneous transplanted tumor model and in vitro conditioned culture model were constructed to detect the quantitative and functional changes in CD8

resultsGenetical or pharmacological inhibition of KDM4C specifically increased CD8

conclusionsOur data reveal a crucial role for KDM4C in antitumor immunity in lung cancer and indicate that targeting KDM4C in combination with radioimmunotherapy might be a promising synergistic strategy in lung cancer.
