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

Local regulation of T cell-mediated immunity to solid tumors occurs at multiple levels, including their recruitment from the bloodstream to the tumor microenvironment (TME), coordinated crosstalk with different subsets of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) controlling their local survival, proliferation, and effector differentiation, as well as their egress from tumors via lymphatics. At each level, chemokines play essential roles, for instance, by guiding directional T cell migration across blood and lymphatic endothelial barriers or by promoting their spatial proximity and direct physical interactions with APCs to enable functional crosstalk. In this article, we will review recent mechanistic insights into the chemokine axes that guide T cell functions in TMEs in light of the emerging functional state heterogeneity of CD8
