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 tumor microenvironment is an immunosuppressive niche that contributes to tumor growth by downregulating immune cell functions or restraining immune cell infiltration. The underlying mechanisms are not still poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAcylation), a prevalent form of protein glycosylation, contributes to establishing the immunosuppressive niche through regulating the metabolic and non-metabolic functions of uridine diphosphate glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH). Tumor cells carrying O-GlcNAcylation-deficient UGDH showed reduced xenograft tumor growth and improved survival in mice. Cytometry by time-of-flight (CyTOF) analysis suggests UGDH O-GlcNAcylation negatively correlates with cytotoxic CD8
