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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients exhibit variable responses to programmed death (PD)-ligand (L)1 blockade, largely determined by the 'hot' vs 'cold' state of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). We here characterized nine mouse TNBC models, relying on intraductal mammary gland inoculation of established mouse TNBC cell lines, with a heterogeneous TIME to study anti-PD-L1 resistance mechanisms. Complementary in vitro and in vivo screening classified the 4T1-hot-based model, a highly inflamed control through its immunogenic luciferase tag expression compared to the untagged 4T1-cold-based model, as displaying the 'hottest' TIME. However, both 4T1-based counterparts did not respond to anti-PD-L1, which was attributed to their immunosuppressive myeloid cell content, as well as upregulation of cancer-associated fibroblasts in the 4T1-hot and high PD-L1-expressing CXCL10
