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

Background: Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6) is expressed at increased levels in many tumors and may be involved in immunoregulation. The present study investigated how Sirt6 in tumor cells affects immune surveillance. Methods: The human tumor cell lines A2780, HeLa, Huh7, MBA-MD-231, SMMC-7721 and SW480 were incubated with UBCS039, a target-selective activator of Sirt6, to stimulate Sirt6 activity. These cells, following washing to remove residual UBCS039, were cultured with human naive CD4 Results: Following culture with UBSC039-pretreated tumor cells, the proportion of Tregs among CD4 Conclusions: The present study suggested that increased Sirt6 expression and activity in tumor cells can suppress immune surveillance by increasing Treg, ADO, PD-1 and PD-L1 levels, decreasing IFN-γ production, and altering tumor-promoting and antitumor gene expression in the microenvironment.
