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

Various cancer therapies, such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, have been used to treat cancer. Among cancer immunotherapies, stimulators of interferon genes (STING) activate various immune cells and induce them to attack cancer cells. However, the secretion of type I interferon (IFN α and β) increases after stimulation of the immune cell as a side effect of STING agonist, thereby increasing the expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the side effects of STING agonists and maximize cancer treatment by administering combination therapy. Tumor-bearing mice were treated with cisplatin, tumor-specific peptide, neoantigen, DMXAA (STING agonist), and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI). The combination vaccine group showed a reduction in tumor mass, an increased survival rate, and IFN-γ
