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

Introduction: CDK2 (Cyclin-dependent kinase 2) is an oncogenic cyclin-dependent kinase with potent mitogenic and immunosuppressive functions. Despite extensive research on CDK2 inhibitors, the lack of selectivity has made it unclear whether CDK2 inhibition specifically facilitate immunogenic cell death. Methods: We used CRISPR-Cas9 system to generate Results: We found that mice bearing Discussion: This study not only suggests that CDK2 inhibition improves the outcome of chemotherapy by enhancing the type-1 interferon response but also investigates the synergistic effects of CDK2 inhibition with MTX or anti-PD-1 antibodies in immunocompetent mice.
