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

backgroundCrosstalk between inflammation and the immune system plays an important role in tumor malignant progression, immune evasion, and immunotherapy efficacy. This study aims to explore the significance of inflammation-associated gene ribosomal-binding protein 1 (RRBP1) in modulating tumor malignant progression and immune escape.

methodsThis study was used transcriptome, proteomic and in vivo anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody CRISPR Cas9 screening data to identify RRBP1 as an inflammation-immune-associated gene in bladder cancer (BC). Immunohistochemistry, single-cell RNA sequencing, multiplex immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, RNA sequencing, and animal experiments were used to study the role of RRBP1 in regulating tumor malignant progression and immunotherapy efficacy.

resultsRRBP1 overexpression promoted the proliferation and metastasis of BC both in vitro and in vivo. RNA sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that RRBP1 inhibition activated immune-associated pathways and reshaped the tumor immune microenvironment by altering the infiltration of CD8

conclusionsOur findings highlight RRBP1 as an inflammation-immune-associated gene that inhibits tumor progression and improves immunotherapy efficacy by regulating the CXCL10-CXCR3 axis in the tumor microenvironment.
