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

The efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade is often limited by intrinsic immunosuppressive networks within the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Despite progress in cancer treatment, current extracellular targeted protein degradation approaches often overlook the multicellular distribution and crosstalk of immune checkpoints. Here we reported a Receptor-mediated Endolysosomal recYcling Chimera (RECYC) platform. RECYC employs a CI-M6PR-targeting aptamer that remains stable across late endosomal pH and a protein-binding peptide with moderate affinity and pH responsiveness, which together drive recycling and sustained checkpoint clearance. In ex vivo co-culture and in vivo murine models, RECYC efficiently eliminated programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression from both tumor cells and tumor-associated myeloid cells (macrophages, neutrophils and dendritic cells). By converting an immunosuppressive TIME to an immunostimulatory state, RECYC remodeled the tumor-immune network in an anti-tumor direction, thereby enhancing CD8
