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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by high invasion, prone metastasis, frequent recurrence and poor prognosis. Unfortunately, the curative effects of current clinical therapies, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy, are still limited in patients with TNBC. In this study, we showed that the heterogeneous expression at the protein level and subcellular location of mesothelin (MSLN), a potential target for chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cell therapy in TNBC, which is caused by acidification of the tumor microenvironment, may be the main obstacle to therapeutic efficacy. Alkalization culture or sodium bicarbonate administration significantly promoted the membrane expression of MSLN and enhanced the killing efficiency of MSLN-CAR-T cells both
