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

Recent years, immunotherapy has turned out to be a promising strategy against tumors. Peripheral dopamine (DA) has important roles in immune system among tumor patients. Accumulated reports demonstrate variable expression and distribution of DA receptors (DRs) in diverse immune cells. Interestingly, peripheral DA also involves in tumor progression and it exerts anticancer effects on immunomodulation, which includes inflammasomes in cancer, function of immune effector cells, such as T lymphocytes, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and natural killer (NK) cells. Given the specific immunologic status, DA medication may be a valuable candidate in pancreatic cancer treatment. The major purpose of this review is to discuss the novel potential interactions between peripheral dopamine and tumor immunity.
