DNA-PK inhibition sustains the antitumor innate immune response in small cell lung cancer.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive form of lung cancer with limited treatment options. Patients often respond well to initial chemo-immunotherapy but relapse quickly, necessitating new strategies to enhance immune responsiveness. Recent research explores combining DNA-damaging therapies with immunotherapy to activate the STING pathway and improve the antitumor immune response. The addition of DNA Damage Repair (DDR) inhibitors, such as DNA-PKcs inhibitors, after chemotherapy has shown promise in activating innate immune sensors and enhancing CD8
