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

purposeIncreased expression of leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 2 (LILRB2) is associated with immune evasion in breast cancer (BC). The aim of this study to elucidate the role of LILRB2 in BC progression.

methodsLILRB2 expression in tumor tissues was detected by immunohistochemical staining. Human leukocyte antigen A (HLA-A) expression in BC cells was detected by Western blotting, and HLA-A ubiquitination was detected by immunoprecipitation and histidine pulldown assay. An in-situ tumor model was established in nude BALB/c mice to verify the role of LILRB2 in immune escape. Finally, the functions and potential mechanisms of LILRB2 in BC progression were explored using in silico data.

resultsLILRB2 was upregulated in BC tissues and cells, and correlated positively with poor prognosis. LILRB2 promoted BC progression by downregulating HLA-A expression. Mechanistically, LILRB2 facilitates the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of HLA-A by promoting the interaction between the ubiquitin ligase membrane-associated ring finger protein 9 (MARCH9) and HLA-A. In syngeneic graft mouse models, LILRB2-expressing BC cells evaded CD8 + T cells and inhibited the secretion of cytokines by the cytotoxic CD8 + T cells.

conclusionLILRB2 downregulates HLA-A to promote immune evasion in BC cells and is a promising new target for BC treatment.
