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

Cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) is a transmembrane protein that is widely and moderately expressed on the surface of various cells and can have an essential role in mediating cell proliferation, migration, phagocytosis, apoptosis, immune homeostasis and other related responses by binding to its ligands, integrins, thrombospondin-1 and signal regulatory protein α. The poor prognosis of cancer patients is closely associated with high expression of CD47 in glioblastoma, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Upregulation of CD47 expression facilitates the growth of numerous types of tumor cells, while downregulation of its expression promotes phagocytosis of tumor cells by macrophages, thereby limiting tumor growth. In addition, blocking CD47 activates the cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase/cGAMP/interferon gene stimulating factor signaling pathway and initiates an adaptive immune response that kills tumor cells. The present review describes the structure, function and interactions of CD47 with its ligands, as well as its regulation of phagocytosis and tumor cell fate. It summarizes the therapeutics, mechanisms of action, research advances and challenges of targeting CD47. In addition, this paper provides an overview of the latest therapeutic options for targeting CD47, such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells, CAR macrophages and nanotechnology-based delivery systems, which are essential for future clinical research on targeting CD47.
