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

CD47/signal-regulatory protein α (SIRPα) signaling enables malignant cells to evade macrophage-mediated phagocytosis, offering a promising strategy for cancer therapy via immune checkpoint blockade. However, this strategy is widely debated due to several safety risks revealed by clinical studies, including anemia. Here, a CD47-SIRPα immune checkpoint treatment is investigated that mitigates anemic side effects by selectively interfering with the costabilization of CD47 and integrin αvβ3 on cancer cell surfaces, a phenomenon absent in erythrocytes. Multiplexed immunofluorescence analysis of 119 clinical breast cancer tissues reveals this costabilization. The engineered peptide PSFL-NK13 effectively disrupts this costabilization, which enhances macrophage phagocytosis and delays tumor growth, without causing anemia or promoting angiogenesis. Thus, a stable interaction is identified between integrin αvβ3 and CD47 on the cancer cell membrane that facilitates immune evasion and demonstrates that targeting this interaction offers a safer therapeutic strategy for various tumors.
