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

Targeting macrophage inhibitory receptors like signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) is a promising avenue in cancer treatment. Whereas the ligand of SIRPα, CD47, is widely expressed on tumor cells, its simultaneous presence on all normal cells raises concerns about toxicity and efficacy. This study identifies CD200R1, which binds CD200 on specific tumor types and limited normal cells, as an alternative inhibitory checkpoint for phagocytosis. Blocking or removing CD200R1 from macrophages or CD200 from tumor cells increases phagocytosis and suppresses tumor growth. In humans, CD200R1 is mainly expressed in immunosuppressive macrophages and is induced by interleukin-4. Unlike SIRPα that utilizes phosphatases Src homology 2 domain phosphatase (SHP)-1 and SHP-2, CD200R1 mediates its inhibitory effect via the kinase Csk. Combined CD200R1-CD200 and SIRPα-CD47 blockade further boosts phagocytosis and reduces tumor growth of CD200-expressing tumors, compared to either blockade alone. Thus, targeting CD200R1-CD200 is a promising strategy for immune checkpoint blockade in macrophages, either alone or alongside blockade of other checkpoints.
