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

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) interact with cancer and stromal cells and are integral to sustaining many cancer-promoting features. Therapeutic manipulation of TAM could therefore improve clinical outcomes and synergize with immunotherapy and other cancer therapies. While different nanocarriers have been used to target TAM, a knowledge gap exists on which TAM pathways to target and what payloads to deliver for optimal antitumor effects. We hypothesized that a multipart combination involving the Janus tyrosine kinase (JAK), noncanonical nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), and toll-like receptor (TLR) pathways could lead to a highly active myeloid therapy (HAMT). Thus, we devised a screen to determine drug combinations that yield maximum IL-12 production from myeloid cells to treat the otherwise highly immunosuppressive myeloid environments in tumors. Here we show the extraordinary efficacy of a triple small-molecule combination in a TAM-targeted nanoparticle for eradicating murine tumors, jumpstarting a highly efficient antitumor response by adopting a distinctive antitumor TAM phenotype and synergizing with other immunotherapies. The HAMT therapy represents a recently developed approach in immunotherapy and leads to durable responses in murine cancer models.
