XDec-CHI reveals immunosuppressive interactions in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Article in iScience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Most cancers harbor a diverse collection of cell types including a typically heterogeneous cancer cell fraction. To reconstruct cell-intrinsic and heterotypic interactions driving tumor progression, we combine the XDec deconvolution method with cell-type-specific gene expression correlation analysis into the XDec-CHI method. XDec-CHI identifies intra- and inter-cellular pathways using correlation and places them in the context of specific tumor subtypes, as defined by the state of constituent cancer cells. We make the method web-accessible for analysis of publicly accessible pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, breast, head and neck, glioblastoma, and glioma tumors. We apply the method to TCGA and ICGC datasets to identify immune-suppressive interactions within PDAC tumors that are relevant for immunotherapies targeting PD-L1. Subtype-specific interactions derived from correlative analyses validated in co-culture experiments suggest PDAC subtypes have distinct therapeutic weaknesses, with Basal-like and
