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

B7-H3 (CD276) is an immune checkpoint from the B7 family of molecules and is abnormally expressed in tumor cells as a co-inhibitory molecule to promote tumor progression. Within the tumor microenvironment (TME), B7-H3 promotes tumor progression by impairing the T cell response, driving the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to M2 phenotype, and inhibiting the function of other immune cells. In addition, B7-H3 promotes tumor cell proliferation, migration, invasion, metabolism disorder, angiogenesis, and resistance to treatment to promote tumor progression through its non-immunological functions. Immunotherapy targeting B7-H3, as well as combinations with other immune checkpoint therapies, have shown certain efficacy. In this review, we synthesizes the expression of B7-H3 and its mechanism to promote tumor progression through inducing immunomodulation and non-immunological functions, as well as its role of B7-H3 in tumor therapy, aiming to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of tumors.
