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

backgroundNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a highly aggressive type of lung cancer with poor responses to traditional therapies such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. While immunotherapy has become an effective approach for treating multiple types of cancer, solid tumors frequently exhibit immune escape through various mechanisms, including downregulation of MHC I expression. However, whether the upregulation of MHC I expression can improve the immunotherapeutic effect on NSCLC remains unexplored. Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) is a potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that has been applied clinically to treat lymphoma, but a high dose of SAHA kills tumor cells and normal cells without preference. Here, we report that low-dose SAHA enhances CD8

methodsFlow cytometric analysis, quantitative real-time PCR and western blot were used to analyze the expression of MHC I, STAT1 and Smad2/3 in both human and mouse NSCLC cell lines after SAHA treatment. The nuclear translocation of phosphorylated STAT1 and Smad2/3 was investigated by western blot and immunofluorescence staining. The mechanisms underlying STAT1 and Smad2/3 upregulation were analyzed through database searches and chromatin immunoprecipitation-qPCR. Finally, we assessed the antitumor effect of specific CD8

resultsWe showed that low-dose SAHA upregulated the expression of MHC I in NSCLC cell lines without affecting cell viability. We also provided evidence that high levels of MHC I induced by SAHA promoted the activation, proliferation, and cytotoxicity of specific CD8

conclusionsLow-dose SAHA enhances CD8
