Norepinephrine inhibits CD8
Article in British journal of cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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
backgroundMental stress-induced neurotransmitters can affect the immune system in various ways. Therefore, a better understanding of the role of neurotransmitters in the tumour immune microenvironment is expected to promote the development of novel anti-tumour therapies.
methodsIn this study, we analysed the plasma levels of neurotransmitters in anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody (mAb)-resistance patients and sensitive patients, to identify significantly different neurotransmitters. Subsequently, animal experiments and experiments in vitro were used to reveal the specific mechanism of norepinephrine's (NE) effect on immunotherapy.
resultsThe plasma NE levels were higher in anti-PD-1 mAb-resistance patients, which may be the main cause of anti-PD-1 mAb resistance. Then, from the perspective of the immunosuppressive microenvironment to explore the specific mechanism of NE-induced anti-PD-1 mAb resistance, we found that NE can affect the secretion of C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 9 (CXCL9) and adenosine (ADO) in tumour cells, thereby inhibiting chemotaxis and function of CD8
conclusionNE can affect the secretion of CXCL9 and ADO in tumour cells, thereby inhibiting chemotaxis and the function of CD8
