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

Activation of innate inflammatory signaling and tumor-specific antigen presentation in cancer cells provides a foundation for anti-cancer immunotherapies. Here, we show that the insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding proteins (IGF2BP1, IGF2BP2, and IGF2BP3), which are upregulated across diverse human malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), suppress RNA-sensing pattern recognition receptor signaling and downstream ISRE- and NF-κB-dependent transcription. Among these pathways, RIG-I signaling is particularly sensitive to IGF2BP-mediated inhibition. This suppressive effect is strongest when all three IGF2BP paralogs are co-expressed, especially in embryonic-like hematoendothelial cells and leukemia stem cells. Mechanistically, IGF2BPs suppress innate immune signaling by directly binding to TNFAIP3 mRNA and promoting its expression. Consequently, inhibition of IGF2BPs activates innate immune signaling and induces MHC class I gene expression in AML cells, highlighting IGF2BPs as promising therapeutic targets to enhance RIG-I- and TLR-based cancer immunotherapies.
