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

backgroundTumor cells develop multiple mechanisms to facilitate their immune evasion. Identifying tumor-intrinsic factors that support immune evasion may provide new strategies for cancer immunotherapy. We aimed to explore the function and the mechanism of the tumor-intrinsic factor NPM1, a multifunctional nucleolar phosphoprotein, in cancer immune evasion and progression.

methodsThe roles of NPM1 in tumor progression and tumor microenvironment (TME) reprogramming were examined by subcutaneous inoculation of Npm1-deficient tumor cells into syngeneic mice, and then explored by CyTOF, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry staining, and RNA-seq. The in-vitro T-cell killing of OVA-presenting tumor cells by OT-1 transgenic T cells was observed. The interaction of NPM1 and IRF1 was verified by Co-IP. The regulation of NPM1 in IRF1 DNA binding to Nlrc5, Ciita promoter was determined by dual-luciferase reporter assay and ChIP-qPCR.

resultsHigh levels of NPM1 expression predict low survival rates in various human tumors. Loss of NPM1 inhibited tumor progression and enhanced the survival of tumor-bearing mice. Npm1-deficient tumors showed increased CD8

conclusionsTumor-intrinsic NPM1 promotes tumor immune evasion via suppressing IRF1-mediated antigen presentation to impair tumor immunogenicity and reprogram the immunosuppressive TME. Our study identifies NPM1 as a potential target for improving cancer immunotherapy.
