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

Natural elimination of cancer cells is mediated by human leucocyte antigen (HLA) Class I and II molecules [1] that bind to tumour protein fragments, move to the tumour cell surface and engage CD8+ lymphocytes for killing the tumour cell (HLA Class I) and CD4+ lymphocytes for antibody production against the tumour cell (HLA Class II). HLA Class I molecules are present in all nucleated cells, whereas Class II molecules are present only in antigen presenting cells, such as macrophages. These defence mechanisms are suppressed by tumour cells; this tumour-induced immunosuppression is partly reversed by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), thus allowing the HLA-based tumour elimination to be active again; indeed, the success of ICI therapy partly depends on the HLA makeup of the recipient [2, 3]. Here, we propose a novel cancer immunotherapy consisting of administering the mRNA blueprints for the synthesis of specific HLA Class I molecules with high binding affinity and high immunogenicity to a tumour's neoantigens. This should maximise the effectiveness of HLA-mediated tumour elimination.
