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 clinical successes in immunotherapy have been staggering but remain partially unsatisfactory. Small molecules may play an important role individually or in combination with antibiotics in this field. Therefore, the aim of this work is to identify small molecules that potentiate antitumor immunity. A natural product library was screened by using a macrophage M2-like polarization model. A series of bisindoles (CX-1-5) exhibited inhibitory effects on macrophage M2-like polarization. CX-1 inhibits histone acetylation by targeting the histone acetyltransferase domain of the P300/CBP proteins.
