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

Radio-immunotherapy has antitumor activity but also causes toxicity, which limits its clinical application. JS-201 is a dual antibody targeting PD-1 and TGF-β signaling. We investigated the antitumor effect of JS-201 combined with radiotherapy (RT) and the effect on radiation-induced lung injury (RILI). Different tumor models were established to detect the antitumor effects of the combination of JS-201 and RT, and RILI models were established to observe the effects of JS-201. Transcriptome sequencing showed that JS-201 optimized the tumor microenvironment by inhibiting extracellular matrix formation and angiogenesis. Combining JS-201 with RT further increased the inflammatory response and immune infiltration and showed great abscopal effects in Lewis lung cancer luciferase-positive models. Single-cell sequencing demonstrated that JS-201 reduced fibroblast proliferation by inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad pathway and the release of neutrophil extracellular traps mediated by ROS, thereby relieving radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis. In conclusion, the JS-201 and RT combination enhances antitumor effects while mitigating acute and chronic RILI, and it may have potential for translational investigation as a cancer treatment strategy.
