Key regulatory elements of the TGFβ-LRRC15 axis predict disease progression and immunotherapy resistance across cancer types.

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.
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
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) has dual roles in cancer, initially suppressing tumors but later promoting metastasis and immune evasion. Efforts to inhibit TGFβ have been largely unsuccessful due to significant toxicity and indiscriminate immunosuppression. Leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 15 (LRRC15) is a TGFβ-regulated antigen expressed by cancer cells of mesenchymal origin and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). In preclinical studies, ablation of TGFβ-driven LRRC15+ CAFs enhances effector functions of CD8+ T cells. However, the pathobiological mechanisms associated with TGFβ's upregulation of LRRC15 expression in cancer cells remain unclear. Using an integrated approach combining functional compound screening with scRNA-seq, we reveal key genomic features regulating TGFβ's ability to increase LRRC15 expression on cancer cells. Construction of gene regulatory networks converged our analyses on four key genes (
