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

backgroundInsufficient infiltration of CD8

methodsWe performed a genome-wide Sleeping Beauty transposon mutagenesis screen in murine breast cancer models. Protein-protein interactions were identified by mass spectrometry and validated by co-immunoprecipitation. Gene and protein expression levels were assessed by reverse transcription and quantitative PCR and western blotting. T-cell infiltration and function were evaluated using flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry (IHC), multiplex IHC, and by analyzing bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data complemented by bioinformatic analysis. The specific dephosphorylation sites on LGALS1 were confirmed through phosphomimetic mutant experiments. T-cell infiltration was further validated using an in vitro T-cell transendothelial migration assay and in vivo mouse models.

resultsOur screening identified 39 candidate genes, with tumor cell-intrinsic dual-specificity phosphatase 22 (DUSP22) expression correlating with enhanced CD8

conclusionsOur findings unveil a novel phosphorylation-dependent DUSP22-LGALS1 axis that reprograms the immunosuppressive TME. This work thus proposes a promising therapeutic strategy to overcome immune checkpoint blockade resistance in breast cancer.
