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

backgroundProgrammed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibody has been approved for a variety of tumors, but its effective rate is unsatisfactory. New evidence suggests that mast cells are an important component of the tumor microenvironment and are associated with resistance to immunotherapy, but the underlying mechanism is not clear.

methodsBioinformatics analysis of patients with melanoma in TCGA-SKCM and GSE91061 was used to determine the prognostic value of mast cells and their association with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. HMC-1 cells (mast cell line) and bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) were used to verify the effect of PD-1 antibody and cromolyn sodium in vitro. The mouse subcutaneous melanoma model was used to verify the effect of the PD-1 antibody on mast cells in vivo.

resultsBioinformatics analysis showed that mast cells were a poor prognostic factor associated with resistance to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. PD-1 was expressed on the mast cell membrane. The PD-1 antibody promoted the release of histamine and cytokines from mast cells via the PI3K/AKT pathway and calcium signaling pathway. The activation of mast cells induced by PD-1 antibody could be partially inhibited by cromolyn sodium. In vivo, cromolyn sodium increased the efficacy of PD-1 antibody and decreased the infiltration of mast cells and the density of microvessels.
