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

Therapies targeting immune checkpoints like programmed death receptor-1 and programmed death ligand-1 have demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in combating cancer. However, a subset of patients fails to respond to these therapies, underscoring the complexity of tumor immune evasion mechanisms. Exploring innovative immune regulatory targets represents a crucial research priority in this field. Signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) is an immunosuppressive receptor expressed on myeloid cells that inhibits innate immunity through its interaction with the ligand integrin-associated protein (CD47). Blocking the SIRPα-CD47 axis can enhance myeloid cell-mediated anti-tumor responses and stimulate adaptive immunity, thereby synergizing with therapeutic antibodies and T-cell checkpoint inhibitors. Additionally, tumor-intrinsic SIRPα may facilitate tumor growth and immune evasion. This paper aims to elucidate the mechanisms of SIRPα activity in various cell types, review the advancements in SIRPα-targeted tumor therapies, and highlight the potential research value of tumor-expressed endogenous SIRPα.
