Potential of Adora2b as an immunotherapeutic target for gastric cancer.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Gastric cancer (GC) is characterized by highly heterogeneous tumors, whose progression is genetically driven and closely associated with hypoxia and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Hypoxia accelerates adenosine accumulation, activates the low-affinity Adora2b receptor, weakens antitumor immunity, and promotes metastasis. Adora2b is lowly expressed in normal gastric mucosa. Still, it is significantly upregulated in diseased tissues, where it is widely expressed in various immune cells and the tumor stroma, mediating immune escape, fibrosis, and vascular remodeling. This review summarizes the cell-type-specific signaling mechanisms of Adora2b in the TME (e.g., T cells, macrophages) and, drawing on research in other tumors, proposes mechanistic explanations for its tissue-specific roles. Based on existing evidence, Adora2b regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in GC cells via the cAMP/PKA/Snail pathway, and preclinical studies show that targeting Adora2b reduces the migration and invasion of GC cells. These findings suggest that targeting Adora2b may provide new insights for gastric cancer therapy.
