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

Nucleoside metabolism regulates immune cell development and function, but the therapeutic implications of this link have yet to be fully realized. Evidence for the importance of nucleoside metabolism in immune system control was provided by observations of immunodeficiency and autoimmunity across patients with genetic errors that alter nucleoside synthesis or breakdown. Research over the past several decades has uncovered a multifaceted role for nucleosides in mediating immune responses that involves their function as metabolic precursors and as ligands for immune receptors. These findings prompted the development of treatments that block the production of the immunosuppressive nucleoside adenosine for cancer immunotherapy. Guanosine and pyrimidine nucleosides also mediate immune outcomes, and the key regulators of their metabolism are promising new targets to unleash anti-cancer immune responses or dampen autoimmune reactions. This review provides an overview of (i) recent research concerning the mechanisms underlying nucleoside-mediated immune regulation, (ii) the current landscape of therapeutic targets for immune modulation within nucleoside metabolism, and (iii) opportunities for developing improved preclinical models that recapitulate human nucleoside metabolism, which are needed to advance new metabolism-targeting therapies toward the clinic.
