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

Cancer stem cells play a critical role in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) promote tumor progression through multiple mechanisms in CRC. The roles of MDSCs in CRC cell stemness are unclear. MDSC-derived exosomes are proposed to act as intercellular messengers. Herein, it is reported that granulocytic MDSCs (G-MDSCs) promote CRC cell stemness and progression in mice through exosomes. It is found that S100A9, is highly expressed in G-MDSC-derived exosomes, and its blockade suppresses CRC cell stemness and the susceptibility of mice to AOM/DSS-induced colitis-associated colon cancer. Hypoxia induces G-MDSCs to secrete more exosomes in a hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α)-dependent manner, and respiratory hyperoxia can reduce CRC cells stemness through the inhibition of GM-Exo production. Study-based CRC patients also show that human MDSCs enhance CRC cell stemness and growth via exosomal S100A9, and plasma exosomal S100A9 level in CRC patients is markedly higher than that in healthy subjects. Thus, this study suggests that G-MDSCs promote CRC cell stemness and growth through exosomal S100A9. Moreover, respiratory hyperoxia may be a beneficial strategy to reduce CRC cells stemness through the inhibition of GM-Exo production. MDSCs exosomal S100A9 may be a marker for predicting the development of CRC.
