Striking the right balance with type I interferon signalling in cancer.
Review in Nature reviews. Cancer, 2026. 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
Type I interferons (IFNs), particularly IFNα and IFNβ, have an important role in cancer therapy, enhancing antitumour immunity and improving the efficacy of both conventional treatments and immunotherapies. However, despite considerable investment and research in IFN-based treatments, clinical success in solid malignancies has been hampered by toxicity and limited therapeutic efficacy. Recent studies show that type I IFNs can exert both immune-stimulatory and immune-suppressive effects within tumours, with their activity shaped by oncogenic signalling, chromatin state, the tumour microenvironment and therapeutic interventions. In this Review, we explore current insights into the regulation and function of type I IFNs in cancer, with a particular focus on tumour-intrinsic mechanisms controlling canonical and chronic signalling. We examine how these pathways influence immune surveillance, metastatic progression, therapeutic response and resistance. We also discuss how age-related changes, including immunosenescence and alterations in stromal composition and function, modulate type I IFN signalling and affect therapeutic outcomes. By dissecting the transcriptional, epigenetic and signalling mechanisms that control type I IFN responses, we outline actionable strategies to reprogramme IFN activity in tumours and ultimately improve response to therapies.
