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 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) against PD-1/PD-L1 have revolutionized lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) therapy, resistance and low response rates persist. Cytoplasmic phospholipase A2α (cPLA2α), a key enzyme in inflammatory pathways, promotes tumor progression, yet its immunomodulatory role in LUAD is unclear. Here, cPLA2α overexpression is found in LUAD tissues, correlating with poor prognosis. cPLA2α knockdown inhibits lung cancer cell proliferation, migration in vitro, and tumor growth in immunodeficient mice, but efficacy diminishes in immunocompetent models due to STAT3-mediated PD-L1 upregulation. In syngeneic models, cPLA2α silencing promotes CD8
