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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThe interaction between brain-metastasizing melanoma cells and surrounding microglia shapes the immune tumor microenvironment and influences tumor progression. Gene expression analysis revealed that sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (

methodsWe examined the effects of S1P1 inhibition on microglia and four brain-metastasizing human melanoma cell lines in monocultures and co-cultures using the selective S1P1 antagonist NIBR0213 and

resultsWe found that melanoma-secreted IL-6 upregulated

conclusionsS1P1 contributes to the immunosuppressive phenotype of microglia. Inhibiting the S1P/S1P1 axis impairs viability and crosstalk between melanoma cells and tumor-activated microglia, offering a potential therapeutic strategy for melanoma brain metastases.
