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

While the central nervous system (CNS) has long been known to regulate global physiologic processes, its role in regulating immune responses has only relatively recently been appreciated. Specifically, CNS input via the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is increasingly emerging as a crucial modulator of immune responses in numerous pathologies, though understanding of the role of these pathways in malignancy is limited. Herein, we provide an overview of CNS-immune signaling pathways, outline the evidence of ANS inputs to immune organs, provide a detailed description of the impact of ANS signaling on immune cell functions, and consider the implications of ANS-immune regulation for the antitumor immune response and CNS inflammation, with a specific focus on how these factors coalesce to impact the antitumor immune response in intracranial malignancies. This review concludes by highlighting the need to better understand cancer neuro-immunology, the tripartite interactions of malignancy and immune cells within the unique niche of the nervous system.
