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

Toll/IL-1R (TIR) domain proteins, as central signaling hubs in innate immunity, dynamically orchestrate inflammatory responses and immune processes within the tumor microenvironment (TME) by mediating both MyD88-dependent and TRIF-dependent pathways. This review systematically elaborates on the dual regulatory roles of the TIR superfamily-encompassing toll-like receptors (TLRs), IL-1 receptors (IL-1Rs), and adaptor proteins-in tumor immunity, including the facilitation of stemness maintenance in cancer stem cells (CSCs) and the inductive mechanisms driving the formation of an immunosuppressive TME. From the perspective of clinical translation, the combinatorial therapeutic strategy of TIR agonists/inhibitors with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) represents a novel paradigm: the synergistic effects among TIR agonists/inhibitors, advanced nanodelivery systems, and radiotherapy-responsive prodrug technology provide a potential approach to address challenges such as systemic toxicity and low targeted delivery efficiency. Looking forward, the continuous advancement and broader application of TIR protein targets in the field of precision cancer immunotherapy hold great promise for offering new hope in the fight against malignant tumors.
