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

Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptors, subfamily B (LILRBs), are a class of critical immunosuppressive receptors that contribute to immune homeostasis by transmitting suppressive signals upon binding to ligands such as major histocompatibility complex class I molecules. They play key roles in modulating both innate and adaptive immune responses. This review summarizes the structural features, ligand interactions, signaling pathways, and expression regulation of LILRBs, and discusses their roles in immune cell function and disease progression, particularly in the tumor microenvironment. We also review current progress in the development of LILRB-targeted therapies for hematological malignancies and solid tumors and outline the challenges and future directions in translating these findings into clinical applications. By integrating recent advances, this review provides a framework for understanding the potential of LILRBs as therapeutic targets in cancer and immune-related disorders.
