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

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wild-type (WT) high-grade gliomas, especially glioblastomas, are highly aggressive and have an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Although tumor-infiltrating immune cells are known to play a critical role in glioma genesis, their heterogeneity and intercellular interactions remain poorly understood. In this study, we constructed a single-cell transcriptome landscape of immune cells from tumor tissue and matching peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from IDH-WT high-grade glioma patients. Our analysis identified two subsets of tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) in tumors with the highest protumorigenesis signatures, highlighting their potential role in glioma progression. We also investigated the T-cell trajectory and identified the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) as a regulator of T-cell dysfunction, providing a potential target for glioma immunotherapy. We further demonstrated that knockout of AHR decreased chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell exhaustion and improved CAR T-cell antitumor efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. Finally, we explored intercellular communication mediated by ligand-receptor interactions within the tumor microenvironment and PBMCs and revealed the unique cellular interactions present in the tumor microenvironment. Taken together, our study provides a comprehensive immune landscape of IDH-WT high-grade gliomas and offers potential drug targets for glioma immunotherapy.
