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

Checkpoint blockade immunotherapy is a potent class of cancer treatment, however, the complex immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) often requires multi-agent combinations to be effective. Current cancer immunotherapy combination approaches are cumbersome, usually involving one-drug-at-a-time scheme. Here, we devise Multiplex Universal Combinatorial Immunotherapy via Gene-silencing (MUCIG), as a versatile approach for combinatorial cancer immunotherapy. We harness CRISPR-Cas13d to efficiently target multiple endogenous immunosuppressive genes on demand, allowing us to silence various combinations of multiple immunosuppressive factors in the TME. Intratumoral AAV-mediated administration of MUCIG (AAV-MUCIG) elicits significant anti-tumor activity with several Cas13d gRNA compositions. TME target expression analysis driven optimization led to a simplified off-the-shelf MUCIG targeting a four gene combination (PGGC:
