Myeloid-derived suppressor cells in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms.
Article in Endocrine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundExpanded myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) correlate with disseminated metastases and poor prognosis in various human cancers. However, the role of MDSCs in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) is still unknown. We investigated the distribution of MDSCs and their clinical significance in patients with GEP-NENs.
methodsPeripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and paraffin-embedded tumor tissues were acquired from patients with GEP-NENs. Multicolor flow cytometry was performed to determine the frequency of MDSCs in peripheral blood, and immunohistochemistry was performed to determine the distribution of MDSCs in primary NEN tissues.
resultsCompared to healthy donors, patients with GEP-NENs had significantly higher levels of circulating monocytic (M)-MDSCs. Frequency of M-MDSCs in both peripheral blood and primary NEN tissues was significantly higher in GEP-NEN patients with metastases compared to patients without metastases. Tumor-infiltrating M-MDSCs can serve as a valuable prognostic marker of metastasis in patients with GEP-NENs, as indicated by the area under the curve (AUC) = 0.71; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.56-0.87, p < 0.01.
conclusionsHigh M-MDSC levels were associated with significantly increased metastases in patients with GEP-NENs. M-MDSCs appear to be a promising prognostic immunologic biomarker and therapeutic target in GEP-NEN management.
