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

backgroundAlthough immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the landscape of cancer treatment, only a minority of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients respond to them. Enhancing tumor immunogenicity by increasing major histocompatibility complex I (MHC-I) surface expression is a promising strategy to boost the antitumor efficacy of ICIs.

methodsDual luciferase reporter assays were performed to find drug candidates that can increase MHC-I expression. The effect of nilotinib on MHC-I expression was verified by dual luciferase reporter assays, qRT-PCR, flow cytometry and western blotting. The biological functions of nilotinib were evaluated through a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. Using RNA-seq analysis, immunofluorescence assays, western blotting, flow cytometry, rescue experiments and microarray chip assays, the underlying molecular mechanisms were investigated.

resultsNilotinib induces MHC-I expression in CRC cells, enhances CD8

conclusionThis study reveals a previously unknown role of nilotinib in antitumor immunity by inducing MHC-I expression in CRC cells. Our findings suggest that combining nilotinib with anti-PDL1 therapy may be an effective strategy for the treatment of CRC.
