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

Resistance to immune checkpoint blockade in gastric cancer often arises from defective antigen presentation due to MHC-I downregulation, yet strategies to restore MHC-I expression remain limited. Here, using the natural alkaloid koumine as a chemical probe, we identified IGF2BP3 as a druggable regulator of MHC-I antigen presentation. Network pharmacology, proteomics, surface plasmon resonance, and cellular thermal shift assays were used to identify and validate koumine's target. Genetic rescue experiments, loss-of-function studies, in vitro T-cell co-culture assays, and in vivo gastric cancer mouse models were performed to confirm the causal relationship. m6A-seq and ChIP-seq analyses delineated the downstream epigenetic pathway. Koumine binds IGF2BP3 and promotes its proteasome-dependent degradation, which reduces m6A enrichment on EED mRNA, accelerates EED decay, lowers H3K27me3, and derepresses IRF transcription, thereby restoring MHC-I expression and enhancing CD8
