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

High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy in the USA due to chemo- and immuno-therapy resistance. We show that focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibition with ifebemtinib or tumor genetic FAK knockout (KO) in syngeneic ovarian tumor models stimulated resident large peritoneal macrophages to express CXCL13 chemokine and promoted B cell infiltration. Macrophage GATA6 inactivation prevented CXCL13 expression and enhanced FAK-KO tumor growth. Combining ifebemtinib with pegylated doxorubicin chemotherapy and anti-TIGIT immune checkpoint antibody extended survival with tumor-associated tertiary lymphoid structure formation. Mechanistically, FAK-KO heat-treated conditioned media contained exosomes enriched with omega-3 fatty acids which stimulated macrophage CXCL13 production. Ifebemtinib-treated tumors, FAK-KO exosomes, and purified eicosapentaenoic acid enhanced murine and human HGSOC-associated tumor macrophage reprogramming and CXCL13 expression. Overall, our studies define a tumor to macrophage signaling linkage via omega-3 exosome lipids supporting B cell recruitment, survival, immunotherapy enhancement, and actionable via small molecule FAK inhibition.
