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

Although some patients with metastatic melanoma experience durable responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), most exhibit intrinsic or acquired resistance to these therapies. Here, we compare somatic genomic profiles from matched pre-treatment and post-resistance tumor biopsies in patients (n = 25) with metastatic melanoma who exhibited heterogeneous ICI responses to nominate additional mediators of acquired resistance. We find that several acquired resistance tumors exhibit defects in B2M or JAK1/2, consistent with prior findings. We also discover resistance-associated mutations in SEC24C and SEC24D in 3 patients. SEC24 has an essential role in the trafficking of the dsDNA sensor STING and has been linked to interferonopathies. Melanoma cells engineered to express the SEC24C mutations observed in patients exhibit diminished STING signaling, including decreased type I interferon production, antigen presentation, and a reduced capacity to activate cytotoxic T cells. This study nominates a role for aberrant STING trafficking in acquired resistance to ICIs.
