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

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has a central role in processes essential for mounting effective and durable antitumour immunity; this includes regulating protein synthesis, folding, modification and trafficking in immune cells. However, the tumour microenvironment imposes hostile conditions that disrupt ER homeostasis in both malignant and infiltrating immune cells, leading to chronic activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR). Dysregulated ER stress responses have emerged as critical modulators of cancer progression and immune escape, influencing the initiation, development and maintenance of antitumour immunity. In this Review, we examine how tumour-induced ER stress reshapes the functional landscape of immune cells within the tumour microenvironment. We highlight recent discoveries demonstrating how ER stress curtails endogenous antitumour immunity and reduces the efficacy of immunotherapies. Furthermore, we underscore novel therapeutic strategies targeting ER stress sensors or UPR components to restore immune function and enhance cancer immunotherapy outcomes. Together, this provides a comprehensive overview of the interplay between ER stress responses and antitumour immunity, emphasizing the potential of UPR-targeted interventions to improve immune control of cancer.
