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

Background: Overcoming resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remains a critical challenge in the treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: Our study evaluated the combined efficacy of the recombinant human adenovirus type 5 (H101) and an anti-PD-L1 antibody (APA) in C57BL/6N mouse model. Gene expression of STAT1 and CD274 (PD-L1) was analyzed by qPCR, and protein levels of PD-L1 and p-STAT1 were assessed via western blot and immunohistochemistry. IFN-γ secretion and immune cell infiltration were measured by ELISA and flow cytometry, respectively. Results: Conclusion: The combination of H101 and APA exhibited excellent anti-HCC efficacy, which may reshape the TME partially through the IFN-γ/STAT1/PD-L1 axis. These findings provide a promising strategy to overcome resistance to ICIs in HCC treatment.
