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

The hallmark of tumor microenvironment is that it makes up of numerous immunomodulatory cells and factors which exert essential roles in immunoprotection and immunosuppression in addition to tumor cells. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous population of immature myeloid cells reported to promote immunosuppression and angiogenesis and facilitate tumor metastasis and invasion. The wide scope of MDSCs functional activities make these cells promising targets for effective cancer treatments. In this review, we briefly discuss the origin, subpopulation, and functions of MDSCs, as well as the potential to target these cells for therapeutic benefit. We focus on the underlying molecular mechanisms of these drugs targeting MDSCs, mainly from the standpoint of molecules related to drug targets.
