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

Recent clinical studies highlight the effectiveness of combining cytotoxic agents with immunotherapies, emphasizing the need for next-generation treatments that integrate both therapeutic approaches. Here, we use 30 cancer cell lines, 15 tumor models, and 45 patient samples to develop N17350, a therapeutic elastase that targets the "neutrophil elastase pathway" to induce tumor regression and stimulate anti-tumor immunity. N17350 leverages linker histone H1.0 and H1.2, proteins elevated in many cancers, to trigger immunogenic cancer cell death while preserving immune cells. Intra-tumoral N17350 administration induces rapid, genotype-independent tumor regression, triggering CD8
