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

IL-33, a member of the IL-1 cytokine family, is constitutively expressed in the nucleus of various cell types. As an alarmin, IL-33 is released upon tissue damage and activates immune cell populations through its receptor, suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2). Given that ST2 is expressed on diverse immune cells involved in both type 1 and type 2 immunity, IL-33 exerts pleiotropic effects on immune responses. In the tumor microenvironment (TME), IL-33 plays a dual role, promoting both protumor and antitumor TME. In this review, we summarize general characteristics of IL-33 and its immunological functions, with particular emphasis on its role in tumor immunity. Furthermore, we discuss recent advances in utilizing IL-33 in cancer immunotherapies and propose IL-33 as a potential candidate for the development of new cancer therapies.
