MARCO+ Tumor-Associated Macrophages Impede CD8+ T Cell Immunity to Facilitate Immunotherapy Resistance in Renal Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, especially in combination regimens, has significantly increased survival of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. However, the ICB-resistant mechanisms remain largely unclear and require further investigation. Here, an immunosuppressive ecosystem in ICB-resistant tumors is identified, featured by preferential infiltration of MARCO+ tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and restrained cytotoxicity of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). The infiltrated MARCO+ TAMs can obstruct the development of CD8+ CTLs by impairing MHC-I-mediated neoantigen cross-presentation. Mechanistically, MARCO up-regulates the expression of SOCS1, which obstructs the kinase activity of JAK1, thereby downregulating MHC-I expression through the inhibition of the JAK1-STAT1-NLRC5 signaling cascade. Further, MARCO blockade significantly facilitates ICB therapy in in vivo models by recovering tumor recognition and priming anti-tumor CD8+ T cell responses. Taken together, these findings highlight MARCO as a highly desirable target in ICB-refractory individuals for immunorecognition reignition and immunotherapy modulation.
