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

Oncolytic virus (OV) therapy is a promising treatment for various tumors. However, in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the high abundance of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) can limit OV therapy efficacy by impairing viral spread and anti-tumor immunity. We have previously shown that oncolytic reovirus infection of CAFs depends on the expression of the reovirus entry receptor junctional adhesion molecule A (JAM-A), which is not or lowly expressed in most PDAC CAFs. We propose that increasing JAM-A expression on CAFs will boost viral spread in a tumor. However, there are currently no known regulators of JAM-A expression. Therefore, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen to identify novel regulators of JAM-A expression. Ablation of the top negative regulator, zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (
