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

In the past, immune memory was considered an exclusive feature of the adaptive immune system. However, accumulating evidence suggests that the innate immune system, the most primitive and fundamental component of immunity, can mount more robust responses to non-specific stimuli following prior exposure to different types of initial stimuli, a phenomenon known as trained immunity. Trained immunity has been extensively studied in diverse disease contexts, including infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammatory conditions. Notably, significant advancements have been made in recent years in understanding the roles and therapeutic potential of trained immunity in oncology. This review aims to explore the multifaceted roles of trained immunity across different cancer types, providing a comprehensive summary of the pertinent stimuli and associated molecular mechanisms. Additionally, we evaluate the clinical applications of various trained immunity stimuli in cancer therapy and offer perspectives on future directions for integrating trained immunity into cancer treatment strategies.
