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

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the dominant nonmalignant component of the tumour microenvironment (TME). CAFs demonstrate a high level of inter- and intra-tumour heterogeneity in solid tumours, though the drivers of CAF subpopulations are not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient-derived CAFs upregulate the secretion of inflammatory cytokines (IL6, LIF, IL33, GM-CSF, IL1ra) and chemokines (CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL20, CXCL8, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11) in response to in vitro co-culture with anti-CD3/anti-CD28-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) via IFNγ and TNFα. Furthermore, T-cell-derived IFNγ inhibits CXCL12 secretion by CAFs in vitro. Our results highlight the ability of T-cell effector cytokines to modulate the CAF secretome in NSCLC.
