Mutant p53 drives an immune cold tumor immune microenvironment in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in Communications biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers.
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.
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 critical role of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in determining response to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy underscores the importance of understanding cancer cell-intrinsic mechanisms driving immune-excluded ("cold") TIMEs. One such cold tumor is oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), a tobacco-associated cancer with mutations in the TP53 gene which responds poorly to ICI therapy. Because altered TP53 function promotes tumor progression and plays a potential role in TIME modulation, here we developed a syngeneic OSCC models with defined Trp53 (p53) mutations and characterized their TIMEs and degree of ICI responsiveness. We observed that a carcinogen-induced p53 mutation promoted a cold TIME enriched with immunosuppressive M2 macrophages highly resistant to ICI therapy. p53-mutated cold tumors failed to respond to combination ICI treatment; however, the combination of a programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitor and stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist restored responsiveness. These syngeneic OSCC models can be used to gain insights into tumor cell-intrinsic drivers of immune resistance and to develop effective immunotherapeutic approaches for OSCC and other ICI-resistant solid tumors.
