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

backgroundCarcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1) is an inhibitory receptor expressed by multiple tumors, including colorectal cancer (CRC). CEACAM1 exists as a long isoform (L) containing immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) and a short isoform (S) lacking ITIMs. While microsatellite instability (MSI) CRCs respond to immunotherapy, microsatellite-stable (MSS) CRCs remain resistant, highlighting the need for alternative therapeutic targets. We previously developed an agonistic anti-CEACAM1 monoclonal antibody (mAb), CCM5.01, and demonstrated its CEACAM1-dependent inhibitory effects in melanoma. Here, we evaluated CCM5.01 inhibitory activity on CRC cell lines and related it to L/S ratio.

methodsCRC cell lines HT-29, LOVO, and HCT-116 were treated with CCM5.01 and analyzed by proliferation assays before and after transfection with L or S CEACAM1 isoforms. Transfected cells treated with CCM5.01 were analyzed for signaling and in 3D spheroid models.

resultsCEACAM1-positive CRC cells showed dose-dependent inhibition in response to CCM5.01 treatment and were associated with L/S isoform expression. High CEACAM1-L expression induced growth inhibition and apoptosis, while CEACAM1-S promoted cellular activity. Similar isoform-dependent effects were observed in spheroid models.

conclusionsCEACAM1-mediated signaling in CRCs critically depends on the L/S isoform ratio, supporting CEACAM1-targeted activating therapy as a potential strategy in both MSI and immunotherapy-resistant MSS CRC.
