Microbial cancer immunotherapy reprograms hematopoietic stem cells to enhance anti-tumor immunity.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Mycobacterium bovis BCG is the vaccine against tuberculosis and an immunotherapy for bladder cancer. When administered intravenously, BCG reprograms bone marrow hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), leading to heterologous protection against infections. Whether HSPC-reprogramming contributes to the anti-tumor effects of BCG administered into the bladder is unknown. We demonstrate that BCG administered in the bladder in both mice and humans reprograms HSPCs to amplify myelopoiesis and functionally enhance myeloid cell antigen presentation pathways. Reconstitution of naive mice with HSPCs from bladder BCG-treated mice enhances anti-tumor immunity and tumor control, increases intratumor dendritic cell infiltration, reprograms pro-tumorigenic neutrophils, and synergizes with checkpoint blockade. We conclude that bladder BCG acts systemically, reprogramming HSPC-encoded innate immunity, highlighting the broad potential of modulating HSPC phenotypes to improve tumor immunity.
