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

Fibrinogen-like protein 1 (FGL1) has been recently identified as an emerging novel checkpoint ligand of lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) with important immunoregulatory functions. In addition to LAG-3, FGL1 also interacts with bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6), activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5) and other unidentified receptors to perform biological functions. Physiologically, FGL1 restrains intrahepatic immunity and preserves tolerance. Pathologically, FGL1 is frequently upregulated in various tumors and autoimmune diseases and is closely related to the occurrence and development of these diseases. Targeting FGL1 has shown preclinical efficacy in enhancing immunotherapy involving programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)/PD-1 checkpoint blockade, inhibiting liver metastasis and relieving autoimmunity without overt hepatotoxicity. In this review, we summarize recent advances in FGL1, focus on the immunoregulatory functions of FGL1, and evaluate its potential as a therapeutic target for immune-related diseases.
