Multimodal immune phenotyping reveals microbial-T cell interactions that shape pancreatic cancer.
Article in Cell reports. Medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers.
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
Microbes are an integral component of the tumor microenvironment. However, determinants of microbial presence remain ill-defined. Here, using spatial-profiling technologies, we show that bacterial and immune cell heterogeneity are spatially coupled. Mouse models of pancreatic cancer recapitulate the immune-microbial spatial coupling seen in humans. Distinct intra-tumoral niches are defined by T cells, with T cell-enriched and T cell-poor regions displaying unique bacterial communities that are associated with immunologically active and quiescent phenotypes, respectively, but are independent of the gut microbiome. Depletion of intra-tumoral bacteria slows tumor growth in T cell-poor tumors and alters the phenotype and presence of myeloid and B cells in T cell-enriched tumors but does not affect T cell infiltration. In contrast, T cell depletion disrupts the immunological state of tumors and reduces intra-tumoral bacteria. Our results establish a coupling between microbes and T cells in cancer wherein spatially defined immune-microbial communities differentially influence tumor biology.
