An anti-cancer surveillance by the interplay between interferon-beta and retinoblastoma protein RB1.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Interferon-beta (IFN-β), an extracellular cytokine that initiates signaling pathways for gene regulation, has been demonstrated to function as a tumor suppressor protein through lentiviral gene transduction. In this article, I review the relevant previous works and propose a cell cycle-based, tumor suppressor protein-mediated mechanism of anti-cancer surveillance. IFN-β induces a tumor cell cycle alteration that leads to S phase accumulation, senescence entry, and a loss of tumorigenicity in solid tumor cells. IFN-β does not show a significant cell cycle effect in their normal counterparts. Retinoblastoma protein RB1, another tumor suppressor protein, tightly controls the cell cycle and differentiation of normal cells, preventing them from being significantly impacted by the IFN-β effect. The interplay between IFN-β and RB1 acts as a mechanism of cell cycle-based, tumor suppressor protein-mediated anti-cancer surveillance that can selectively suppress solid tumor or proliferating transformed cells from the loss of control leading to cancer. This mechanism has important implications for the treatment of solid tumors.
