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

The Hippo signaling pathway plays a key role in tumorigenesis in different cancer types. We investigated the role of the Hippo effector YAP1 in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) and evaluated the efficacy of immunotherapy in the context of YAP1 signaling. We performed numerous in vitro and in vivo experiments to determine the role of YAP1 using genetic and pharmacological attenuation of YAP1 activity. Briefly, RNA sequencing was carried out with mouse and human cell lines to identify novel YAP1-regulated downstream targets unbiasedly. We then experimentally confirmed that YAP1 regulates the TIME through the IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway and varied C-X-C motif chemokine regulation. We analyzed several human sample sets to explore the TIME status in the context of YAP1 expression. Our data indicate that YAP1 attenuation decreases M2 macrophages and myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the TIME compared with YAP1-expressing cells. In summary, this study provides insights into YAP1 signaling as a driver for cancer stemness and an inducer of immunosuppressive TIME. Moreover, the therapeutic efficacy of YAP1 attenuation indicates that combined blockade of YAP1 and immune checkpoints may yield clinical value for treating patients with UCB.
