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 release of CCL5 and CXCL10 is essential for recruiting cytotoxic immune cells into the tumor microenvironment and enhancing the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. Type I IFNs, particularly IFNβ, activate signaling pathways that induce the expression of these chemokines. In our recent study, we explored the impact and underlying mechanisms of inhibiting the kinase activity of VPS34, a key lipid kinase in the autophagy/endosomal trafficking system, on the expression of CCL5 and CXCL10 in preclinical cancer mouse models. Using NanoString gene expression technology, we analyzed tumors from mice treated with the VPS34 inhibitor SB02024 and demonstrated that the expression of CCL5 and CXCL10 is increased through a cGAS-STING-dependent mechanism within cancer cells. Abbreviations: CCL5 (C-C motif chemokine 5); CXCL10 (C-X-C motif chemokine 10); IFN (interferon); VPS34 (vacuolar protein sorting 34); cGAS (cyclic GMP-AMP Synthase); STING (stimulator of interferon genes protein); cGAMP (2'3'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate).
