Spatial analysis reveals targetable macrophage-mediated mechanisms of immune evasion in hepatocellular carcinoma minimal residual disease.
Article in Nature cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 papers.
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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) frequently recurs from minimal residual disease (MRD), which persists after therapy. Here, we identified mechanisms of persistence of residual tumor cells using post-chemoembolization human HCC (n = 108 patients, 1.07 million cells) and a transgenic mouse model of MRD. Through single-cell high-plex cytometric imaging, we identified a spatial neighborhood within which PD-L1 + M2-like macrophages interact with stem-like tumor cells, correlating with CD8
