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

Cancer immunoprevention leverages the immune system's surveillance mechanisms to mitigate tumor development. Vaccines that constitute a tumor antigen and an immune adjuvant are perceived as immunoprevention modalities. However, relevant tumor antigens are unknown for non-viral cancers, which constitute most human cancers. Our group has recently shown that SA-4-1BBL, a novel agonist of CD137 receptor, but not antibodies, shows immunoprevention efficacy against various tumors. Advanced bioinformatics analyses of bulk RNA-seq data were conducted to elucidate mechanisms underlying cancer immunoprevention. Mice received subcutaneous injections of SA-4-1BBL or agonistic 3H3 antibody, and the injection-site tissue (IS) and draining lymph nodes (LN) were analyzed for differential gene expression. SA-4-1BBL induced a compartmentalized and temporally dynamic immune program characterized by early effector activation at IS and sustained immune regulation in draining LN. K-means clustering of 4564 DEGs identified eight functionally distinct clusters. IS-enriched clusters contained activation genes for CD4
