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

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are abundantly expressed in cancer cells. The effects of GSL-targeted immunotherapies are not fully understood. Here, we show that the inhibition of GSL synthesis with the UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase inhibitor eliglustat can increase the exposure of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and tumour antigen peptides, enhancing the antitumour response of CD8
