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

Programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)/PD-1 axis is crucial for maintenance of immune homeostasis and its impairment partially accounts for the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. Hence, augmenting PD-L1/PD-1 signals represents a novel strategy to prevent destructive inflammation and induce immune tolerance. Recently, we developed a new cargo by conjugating the ectodomain of PD-L1 with pHLIP, a low pH-responding and membrane-inserting peptide, and demonstrated its potent immune-suppressive activity under weakly acidic (pH6.1) conditions in vitro. Herein, we further showed that PD-L1-pHLIP (termed as PD-L1-pHLIP
