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

G-quadruplex (G4) is a noncanonical nucleic acid secondary structure self-assembled by guanine-rich sequences. Recent studies have not only revealed the key role of G4 in gene regulation, DNA replication, and telomere maintenance but also showed that it plays a core role in regulating the tumor immune microenvironment. G4 participates in tumor immune escape and the inhibition of immune response by regulating immune checkpoint molecules, cytokine expression, immune cell function, and their interaction network, thus significantly affecting the effect of tumor immunotherapy. This article systematically reviews the molecular mechanism of G4 in tumor immune regulation, especially gastrointestinal tumors, and explores the potential and application prospects of G4-targeted drug strategies in improving anti-tumor immunotherapy.
