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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of primary liver cancer. γδ T cells have been revealed to be promising candidates for immunotherapy in patients with HCC. However, the use of these cells in clinical practice has been demonstrated to be challenging. In the present study, γδ T cells isolated from the peripheral blood of patients with HCC (n=83) and healthy donors (n=15) were characterized. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the proportion, phenotype, tumor-killing capacity and cytokine secretion of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and γδ T17 cells in peripheral blood samples prior to and following amplification. Interleukin (IL)-17A levels in the supernatant was analyzed using an ELISA on days 3, 7, 10 and 14. The
