B7H3 in Gastrointestinal Tumors: Role in Immune Modulation and Cancer Progression: A Review of the Literature.
Review in Cells, 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
B7-H3 (CD276), a member of the B7 immune checkpoint family, plays a critical role in modulating immune responses and has emerged as a promising target in cancer therapy. It is highly expressed in various malignancies, where it promotes tumor evasion from T cell surveillance and contributes to cancer progression, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance, showing a correlation with the poor prognosis of patients. Although its receptors were not fully identified, B7-H3 signaling involves key intracellular pathways, including JAK/STAT, NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, and MAPK, driving processes crucial for supporting tumor growth such as cell proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis inhibition. Beyond immune modulation, B7-H3 influences cancer cell metabolism, angiogenesis, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, further exacerbating tumor aggressiveness. The development of B7-H3-targeting therapies, including monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and CAR-T cells, offers promising avenues for treatment. This review provides an up-to-date summary of the B7H3 mechanisms of action, putative receptors, and ongoing clinical trials evaluating therapies targeting B7H3, focusing on the molecule's role in gastrointestinal tumors.
