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

Understanding how tumor cells shape the tumor microenvironment (TME) and evade the host immune response is critical for developing novel therapeutic combinations. In this study, we identify tumor cell p38α as a therapeutic target that restricts antitumor immunity and contributes to resistance against immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Genetic analyses of mouse and human melanomas reveal alterations in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-stress pathway, including upregulation of MAPK14. We demonstrate a dual role for p38α in ultraviolet-B (UVB)-induced Braf
