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

backgroundIrreversible electroporation (IRE) is a novel local tumor ablation approach with the potential to activate the host's immune system. However, this approach is insufficient to prevent cancer progression, and complementary approaches are required for effective immunotherapy.

aimTo assess the immunomodulatory effects and mechanism of IRE combined anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) treatment in subcutaneous pancreatic cancer models.

methodsC57BL-6 tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into four groups: Control group; IRE group; anti-PD-1 group; and IRE + anti-PD-1 group. Tumor-infiltrating T, B, and natural killer cell levels and plasma concentrations of T helper type 1 cytokines (interleukin-2, interferon-γ, and tumor necrosis factor-α) were evaluated. Real-time PCR was used to determine the expression of CD8 (marker of CD8

resultsThe results demonstrated that the IRE + anti-PD-1 group exhibited significantly higher percentages of T lymphocyte infiltration, including CD4

conclusionThe combination of IRE and anti-PD-1 therapy promotes CD8
