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

Although programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors have shown promising and durable responses in patients with several types of cancer, many patients show resistance to PD-1 inhibitors. Recent evidence has demonstrated that immunosuppressive cells are induced in tumor microenvironment and inhibit the anti-tumor effects of anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (αPD-1 mAb). To investigate whether nintedanib-a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, fibroblast growth factor receptor, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-suppresses immunosuppressive cells and enhances the anti-tumor effects of αPD-1 mAb in preclinical models, flowcytometry, immunohistochemistry, and RNA sequencing of tumor-tissue, tumor-draining lymph nodes, spleens were conducted. RNA sequencing of murine tumor tissues revealed that nintedanib decreased the gene signatures related to myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Flow cytometry showed that nintedanib significantly decreased the MDSC and CAF percentage in tumor-bearing hosts and increased IFN-ϒ
