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

HDAC3 is highly expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC) and associated with poor prognosis. This study reveals that HDAC3 deletion dually regulates chemokine expression through epigenetic mechanisms, promoting CD8⁺ T cell infiltration (via CXCL10) on one hand, while enhancing the recruitment of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) (via CXCL1/2/3/5) on the other. The latter, mediated through CXCR2 signaling, counteracts the intrinsic anti-tumor effect of HDAC3 deletion. We further demonstrate that combining a CXCR2 inhibitor effectively blocks MDSC infiltration and significantly enhances the immunotherapeutic efficacy mediated by HDAC3 deletion. This study systematically elucidates the "double-edged sword" role of HDAC3 in the CRC immune microenvironment and provides a theoretical and experimental basis for an HDAC3/CXCR2 dual-targeting therapeutic strategy.
