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

significanceOur study reveals UBA1 as a predictive biomarker for clinical outcomes in ICB cohorts, mediating cancer immune evasion and ICB resistance. We further highlight JAK1 stabilization as a key mechanism of UBA1 inhibition and nominate the UBA1-STUB1 axis as an immuno-oncology therapeutic target to improve the efficacy of ICB.
