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

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have garnered much attention in recent years as a potential target for altering the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in a variety of solid tumor types. The ability to accurately assess the immunosuppressive capacity of MDSCs is fundamental to the development of therapeutic approaches aimed at disabling these immunosuppressive functions. In this article we provide evidence that the use of CD3/28 coated microbeads leads to artefactual T-lymphocyte suppression due to sequestration of beads by MDSCs isolated from the spleens of wild-type mice bearing subcutaneous syngeneic, carcinogen-induced oral cavity carcinomas. Mechanisms of this finding may include early MDSC death and acquisition of phagocytic capacity. These artefactual findings were avoided by eliminating the use of microbeads and instead using plate bound CD3/28 antibody as the T-lymphocyte stimulus. We propose model-specific validation of microbead-based MDSC assays, or use of an alternative stimulation approach such as plate bound CD3/28 antibodies.
