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

backgroundDespite the promise of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for gastric cancer (GC) treatment, limited cytotoxic T cell infiltration remains a major barrier to therapeutic efficacy. This study investigates whether targeting HEAT repeat containing 1 (HEATR1) can induce immunogenic PANoptosis to enhance anti-tumor immunity.

methodsBioinformatics analysis of TCGA-STAD cohort, syngeneic mouse models, and patient-derived organoids (PDOs) were employed to assess HEATR1 function. Mechanistic studies examined STAT1/IRF1 signaling, PANoptosis markers, and dendritic cell (DC) activation. Therapeutic efficacy was evaluated in combination with anti-PD1 immunotherapy.

resultsHEATR1 expression inversely correlated with CD8

conclusionsHEATR1 deficiency enhances GC cell sensitivity to IFN-γ-mediated PANoptosis via STAT1/IRF1 pathway activation, creating an immunogenic tumor microenvironment that potentiates ICI efficacy. These findings identify HEATR1 as a promising therapeutic target for improving GC immunotherapy outcomes.
