Infection and cancer suppress pDC derived IFN-I.
Review in Current opinion in immunology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are specialized producers of Type I interferon (IFN-I) that promote anti-viral and anti-tumor immunity. However, chronic infections and cancer inhibit pDC-derived IFN-I. While the mechanisms of this inhibition are multifarious they can be classified broadly into two categories: i) reduction or ablation of pDC IFN-I-production capacity (functional exhaustion) and/or ii) decrease in pDC numbers (altered population dynamics). Recent work has identified many processes that contribute to suppression of pDC-derived IFN-I during chronic infections and cancer, including sustained stimulation through Toll Like Receptors (TLRs), inhibitory microenvironments, inhibitory receptor ligation, and reduced development from bone marrow progenitors and apoptosis. Emerging success leveraging pDCs in treatment of disease through TLR activation illustrates the therapeutic potential of targeting pDCs. Deeper understanding of the systems that limit pDC-derived IFN-I has the potential to improve these emerging therapies as well as help devising new approaches that harness the outstanding IFN-I-production capacity of pDCs.
