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

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have shaped the landscape of cancer treatment. However, many patients either do not respond or suffer from later progression. Numerous proteins can control immune system activity, including multiple tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily (TNFSF) and TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) members; these proteins play a complex role in regulating cell survival and death, cellular differentiation, and immune system activity. Notably, TNFSF/TNFRSF molecules may display either pro-tumoral or anti-tumoral activity, or even both, depending on tumor type. Therefore, TNF is a prototype of an enigmatic two-faced mediator in oncogenesis. To date, multiple anti-TNF agents have been approved and/or included in guidelines for treating autoimmune disorders and immune-related toxicities after immune checkpoint blockade for cancer. A confirmed role for the TNFSF/TNFRSF members in treating cancer has proven more elusive. In this review, we highlight the cancer-relevant TNFSF/TNFRSF family members, focusing on the death domain-containing and co-stimulation members and their signaling pathways, as well as their complicated role in the life and death of cancer cells.
