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

Although previous decades contributed to major progress in targeted therapy of many malignancies, the treatment of gynaecological cancers remains a challenging task. In the evidence of rising cancer mortality, the search for new methods of treatment is a dire need. Exploring the mechanisms of interaction between tumour cells and host immune response may allow the introduction of new, effective therapies - not as toxic and far more efficient than conventional methods of cancer treatment. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is typically diagnosed at advanced stages. Its incidence and mortality rate is high. Powerful diagnostic tools for this kind of cancer are still under investigation. Multiple mechanisms existing in the ovarian tumour network create a specific immunosuppressive microenvironment, in which accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) may be a critical component for diagnosis and treatment. This review attempts to verify current knowledge on the role of MDSCs in EOC.
