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

objectiveAnti-PD-1 therapy resistance remains a critical barrier in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) management, and the underlying mechanisms are incompletely defined.

methodsWe generated CD155‑knockout (KO) NSCLC cell lines using the CRISPR‑Cas9 system and performed systematic multi‑omics analyses, including single‑cell RNA‑seq, bulk RNA‑seq, proteomics, and metabolomics. The key molecular mechanisms were further validated by immunohistochemistry (IHC), western blotting, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Functional assays assessed cell proliferation, migration, and metabolic phenotypes, while the therapeutic efficacy was assessed in vivo using AAV9_shCD155.

resultsSingle-cell sequencing revealed aberrantly high CD155 expression in NSCLC patients with poor response to anti-PD-1 therapy. High CD155 expression in NSCLC tissues correlated with unfavourable prognosis. ETS1 was identified as a direct transcriptional driver of CD155. Multi-omics analysis and functional assays demonstrated that CD155 upregulates the expression of key glycolytic proteins (GLUT1, GLUT3, LDHB) by activating the PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α signalling axis, thereby driving glycolytic metabolism, proliferation, and migration of tumour cells. CD155 knockout significantly suppressed these malignant phenotypes. In xenograft mouse models, monotherapy with AAV9_shCD155 effectively inhibited tumour growth and postoperative recurrence. More importantly, in humanised mouse models, combining AAV9_shCD155 with pembrolizumab produced synergistic anti-tumour effects, more significantly suppressing tumour growth and promoting immune cell infiltration into the tumour microenvironment.

conclusionCD155 mediates anti-PD-1 resistance by activating PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α-driven glycolytic reprogramming. Targeting CD155 combined with anti-PD-1 overcomes resistance, supporting a dual-target therapeutic strategy. KEY POINTS: CD155 is identified as a key driver of anti-PD-1 resistance in NSCLC. CD155 promotes tumour glycolysis and malignant progression via the PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α signalling axis. AAV9_shCD155 combined with anti-PD-1 markedly inhibits tumour growth and promotes immune infiltration.
