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

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition has long been studied as a physiologic process that is critical for embryonic development, wound healing, and cancer progression. Activation of the EMT program confers on cancer cells many cellular traits associated with high-grade malignancies. These include invasion, motility, the acquisition of stem cell-like features, and resistance to multiple therapies. An emerging frontier of the EMT program, is its ability to regulate the activity of immune cells within tumors and drive resistance to immune checkpoint blockade therapies. In this review, we provide an overview of the mechanistic underpinnings of EMT-driven immunosuppression on specific subsets of innate and adaptive immune cells present within primary tumors. We also provide an insight into the role of various EMT-transcription factors in regulating the expression of cancer cell-intrinsic immunosuppressive and immunoevasive factors. Additionally, we review the consequences of EMT-driven immunosuppression on distinct steps of the invasion-metastasis cascade. Finally, we summarize studies that document EMT-driven immunosuppression in multiple cancer types.
