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

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) of tumour-infiltrating immune cells in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) omental biopsies reveals potential targets that could enhance response to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). Analysis of 64,097 cells identifies NACT-induced overexpression of stabilin-1 (clever-1) on macrophages and FOXP3 in Tregs that is confirmed at the protein level. STAB1 inhibition in vitro induces anti-tumour macrophages. FOXP3 anti-sense oligonucleotide (FOXP3-ASO), repolarises Tregs to an effector T cell phenotype. ScRNAseq on 69,781 cells from an HGSOC syngeneic mouse model recapitulates the patients' data. Combining chemotherapy with anti-stabilin1 antibody and/or Foxp3-ASO significantly increases survival of mice with established peritoneal disease in two HGSOC syngeneic models and progression-free survival in a third model. Long-term survivors (300 days + ) are resistant to tumour rechallenge. Anti-stabilin1 antibody enriches the tumours with CXCL9+ macrophages and Foxp3-ASO increases TBET cell infiltration. Our results suggest that targeting these molecules in immune cells may improve chemotherapy response in patients.
