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

Type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) are a class of tissue-resident cells with antitumor activity, suggesting its possible role in solid tumor immune surveillance, but it is not clear whether manipulating ILC1s can induce potent antitumor immune responses. Here, we found that G-protein-coupled receptor 34 (GPR34), a receptor for lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS), was highly expressed on ILC1s but not on conventional natural killer cells in the tumor microenvironment. LysoPS was enriched in the tumor microenvironment and could inhibit ILC1 activation via GPR34. Genetic deletion of LysoPS synthase Abhd16a expression in tumors or Gpr34 expression in ILC1s or antagonizing GPR34 enhanced ILC1 antitumor activity. In individuals with cancer, ABHD16A expression in tumors or GPR34 expression in ILC1s was inversely correlated with the antitumor activity of ILC1s or ILC1-like cells. Thus, our results demonstrate that manipulating ILC1s can induce potent antitumor immunity, and GPR34 is a metabolic immune checkpoint that can be targeted to develop ILC1-based immunotherapy.
