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

High endothelial venules (HEVs) provide another portal for tumour metastasis. However, whether HEVs and other blood vessels exert different effects on tumour escape remains unknown. Here we show that tumour involvement in HEVs is an independent prognostic marker for patients with lymph node (LN)-positive female breast cancer. Tumour cells that spread via HEVs are less immunogenic and more capable of establishing distant metastases than those that spread through non-HEV blood vessels. Mechanistically, the expression of arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase (ALOX12) in HEVs is promoted by tumour-derived semaphorin 3 C (SEMA3C). Reciprocally, ALOX12-derived metabolite 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) promotes ADAR1 p150-dsRNA phase separation in tumour cells by selectively binding to ADAR1 p150. Consequently, the immune recognition of dsRNA is reduced because of the increased adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing in tumour cells. Collectively, our data indicate that a unique lymphatic anatomical structure mediates specific immune evasion of migrating tumour cells.
