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

backgroundTo summarise the molecular interactions of Poliovirus Receptor (PVR) with its receptors (inhibitory TIGIT/CD96 and activating CD226), to delineate how these interactions drive glioma immune escape, and to evaluate emerging PVR-directed therapeutic strategies.

methodsCritical synthesis of pre-clinical and clinical data (to 2025) on PVR pathway biology and drug development in glioma.

resultsPVR ligation of TIGIT/CD96 suppresses T- and NK-cell cytotoxicity, skews cytokine profiles toward regulatory phenotypes, and blunts tumour cell death; concurrent CD226 engagement is competitively antagonised, amplifying immune escape. Elevated PVR expression correlates with reduced effector infiltration, increased Treg and exhausted T-cell signatures, and inferior patient prognosis. PVR blockade

conclusionsThe PVR-TIGIT/CD96/CD226 axis is a critical immune checkpoint in glioma. Targeted disruption of this pathway offers a promising strategy to overcome resistance and improve clinical outcomes.
