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

The efficacy of conventional chemotherapy does not only rely on the cytotoxic action of the drug compound itself. Indeed, proper drug-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) can stimulate immunosurveillance and mount a systemic anti-tumor response. We aimed to further amplify the therapeutic activity of oxaliplatin (OxPt) chemotherapy-induced ICD by combining this with an imidazoquinoline (IMDQ) TLR7/8 agonist. We hypothesized that innate immune activation by TLR7/8 activation primes the immune system against tumor neoantigens, thereby mounting tumor-specific T cell responses that contribute to killing primary tumor cells and distal metastases. To this end, we initially synthesized a covalent conjugate of OxPt, an imidazoquinoline TLR7/8 agonist (
