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

backgroundsImmune checkpoint blockade has revolutionized cancer treatment and has improved the survival of a subset of patients with cancer. However, numerous patients do not benefit from immunotherapy, and treatment resistance is a major challenge. Krüppel-like factor 12 (KLF12) is a transcriptional inhibitor whose role in tumor immunity is unclear.

methodsWe demonstrated a relationship between KLF12 and CD8

resultsHere, we found that the expression of tumor KLF12 correlates with immunotherapy resistance. KLF12 suppresses CD8

conclusionsThis work identifies a novel pathway regulating CD8
