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

It is well established that T regulatory (Treg) cells counteract tumour immunity. However, conflicting results describing the role of Treg cells in haematological tumours warrant further investigations to clarify the interactions between Treg cells and the tumour. B-cell malignancy derives from different stages of B-cell development and differentiation in which T cells play a profound role. The transformed B cell may still be in need of T-cell help to thrive but simultaneously they may be recognized and destroyed by cytotoxic lymphocytes. Recent reports demonstrate that Treg cells can suppress and even kill B cells as part of their normal function to rescue the body from autoimmunity. An emerging body of evidence points out that Treg cells not only inhibit tumour-specific T cells but may also have a role in suppressing the progression of the B-cell tumour. In this review, we discuss the origin and function of Treg cells and their role in patients with B-cell tumours.
