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

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) remains ineffective in most colorectal cancers (CRC) due to intrinsic immune resistance. We identify guanylate-binding protein 2 (GBP2) as a key enhancer of ICB response through modulation of the gasdermin D (GSDMD)-Yes-associated protein (YAP) axis. Analyses of CRC cohorts, patient samples, organoids, and mouse models revealed that GBP2 directly binds GSDMD, inhibiting its cleavage-dependent activation and preventing YAP nuclear translocation. Activated GSDMD facilitates YAP nuclear accumulation, which represses CXCL9/10/11 transcription and limits CD8⁺ T-cell infiltration. Mechanistically, GBP2 disrupts this process by restraining non-pyroptotic GSDMD activity and maintaining YAP in its inactive cytoplasmic state. Genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of GSDMD restored YAP inactivation and sensitized tumors to anti-PD-L1 therapy. These findings define a GBP2-GSDMD-YAP signaling axis that inhibits immune evasion and represents a therapeutic target to overcome ICB resistance in CRC.
