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

Purpose: Conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1s) mastermind anti-cancer immunity and play a pivotal role in determining the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies. In this study, we sought to decipher the dynamic changes in the tumor immune landscape during intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) development and harness the therapeutic potential of targeting cDC1s for cancer therapy. Methods: We constructed spontaneous murine iCCAs via hydrodynamic tail vein injection (HDTVi) of plasmids encoding AKT/YAP. To characterize tumor-infiltrating immune cell populations throughout iCCA carcinogenesis and progression, we performed time-of-flight mass cytometry (CyTOF). To expand and activate cDC1s, we combined Flt3L with poly I:C (FL-pIC) therapy and assessed its therapeutic efficacy in both AKT/YAP-induced iCCAs and a subcutaneous tumor injection model. Flow cytometric analyses were used to evaluate intra-tumoral infiltration levels of cDCs and CD8 Results: CyTOF analysis revealed the progressive formation of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment as iCCA advances. Crucially, infiltration of cDC1s dramatically decreases in advanced iCCAs compared to early-stage tumors. Combined FL-pIC therapy preferentially expanded CD103 Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that recruiting and activating intra-tumoral cDC1s is feasible and essential for driving anti-tumor CD8
