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

Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B2 (LILRB2) functions as an immunosuppressive receptor that has a prominent role in immune regulation. The expression of LILRB2 is higher in a variety of solid malignant tumors compared with that in corresponding normal tissues. LILRB2 can be expressed in tumor cells and tumor stromal cells within the tumor microenvironment. Upregulation of LILRB2 in tumors is significantly associated with a poorer tumor phenotype, increased tolerance to certain therapeutic drugs, tumor immune escape and shorter patient overall survival time. Therefore, LILRB2 can be utilized as a novel biomarker to predict the prognosis of patients with solid malignant tumors, and targeting LILRB2 may be an effective strategy for targeted cancer therapy. The present review provides a general overview of the role and mechanisms of LILRB2 in the microenvironment of solid tumors, and emphasizes the significance of targeting LILRB2 as a promising approach for tumor-specific therapy.
