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

Most patients with solid tumors fail to sustain antitumor immunity, in part because immune cells cannot outcompete cancer cells inside the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Here, we show the lipid-sensing transcription factor PPARδ is a compartment-specific determinant of cancer-immune fitness balance and immunotherapy efficacy. Activating PPARδ in cancer cells promotes their growth and impairs antitumor immunity, whereas activating it in immune cells drives tumor suppression and overrides tumor-promoting effects of cancer-intrinsic activation. Mechanistically, PPARδ enhances CD8
