Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell (pDC) Infiltration Correlate with Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes, Cancer Immunity, and Better Survival in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) More Strongly than Conventional Dendritic Cell (cDC).

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
Dendritic cells (DC) represent a major antigen-presenting cell type in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and play an essential role in cancer immunity. Conventional DC (cDC) and plasmacytoid DC (pDC) were defined by the xCell algorithm and a total of 2968 breast cancer patients (TCGA and METABRIC) were analyzed. We found that triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) had a high fraction of cDC and pDC compared to the other subtypes. In contrast to cDC, high pDC in TNBC was significantly associated with better disease-specific and disease-free survival consistently in both cohorts. High cDC TNBC tumors enriched not only inflammation and immune-related, but also metastasis-related gene sets in Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, whereas high pDC TNBC enriched inflammation and immune -related gene sets including IFN-γ signaling more strongly than cDC. pDC TNBC correlated with CD8
