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

Granzyme A (GzmA), a serine protease highly expressed in cytotoxic immune cells, plays complex roles in antitumor immunity and inflammation. While elevated GzmA levels correlate with favorable outcomes in certain cancers, extracellular GzmA has been implicated in promoting tumorigenesis via inflammatory pathways. These contrasting functions highlight the need for selective tools that can detect GzmA activity with high spatiotemporal resolution in native biological contexts. A series of quenched activity-based probes that fluoresce only upon covalent binding to active GzmA have been developed. The lead probe, featuring the Ile-Gly-Asn-Arg recognition sequence, a phenyl phosphinate ester warhead, and a near-infrared sulfo-Cy5/QSY21 fluorophore/quencher pair, exhibits high reactivity, selectivity, and cell permeability. It enables robust detection of GzmA in vitro and in cells, with an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. These activatable probes will support downstream activity-based protein profiling and enable noninvasive imaging of the enzyme activity, offering a powerful means for dissecting the multifaceted biology of GzmA within the tumor immune microenvironment.
