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

Introduction: The Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7/8 agonist resiquimod has shown promise for precancerous lesions of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) but remains unexplored as a treatment for cSCC. Additionally, ablative fractional laser (AFL) has been shown to enhance the efficacy of TLR7 agonist in mouse tumor models. This study investigates the efficacy of intratumoral resiquimod formulated into a sustained-release gel (RSQ-gel) in a cSCC mouse model and compares RSQ-gel with topical imiquimod (IMQ) cream, a clinically approved TLR7 agonist. We further examine whether adjuvant AFL enhances the efficacy of RSQ-gel. Methods: A syngeneic transplanted cSCC mouse model was established using cells from a UVR-induced cSCC mouse model. The immunostimulatory effects of RSQ-gel were assessed by analyzing the expression of the activation marker CD86 on plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) and cross-presenting conventional type I dendritic cells (XCR1 Results: RSQ-gel was associated with activation of pDCs and XCR1 Discussion: RSQ-gel with AFL demonstrated significant antitumor efficacy in the cSCC mouse model. Local RSQ-gel combined with adjuvant AFL may offer a promising therapeutic approach for cSCC.
