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

aimMyeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a population of cells which negatively regulate immune response during tumor progression. In this study, we assessed the accumulation of MDSCs (CD33(+)CD11b(+)HLA-DR(-)CD14(-)) in patients with prostate cancer and its clinical relevance.

methodsWe tested the frequency of MDSCs in the peripheral blood of patients with prostate cancer or benign prostate hyperplasia and healthy donors. Serumal interleukin-8, -6 and -10 were analyzed. Effects of MDSCs on the T cell response were determined.

resultsMDSCs increased in cancer patients, and there was an association between MDSCs and cancer stages or overall survival. Elevated serumal interleukin-8 and -6 in cancer patients correlated with MDSCs. Moreover, accumulation of MDSCs was associated with defective T cell function.

conclusionOur study showed an increased population of MDSCs in patients with prostate cancer. Interleukin-8 and -6 in serum may play a new important role companied with MDSCs in prostate cancer.
