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 immunotherapies have induced long-lasting responses in cancer patients including those with melanoma and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, the majority of treated patients does not achieve clinical benefit from immunotherapy because of systemic tumor-induced immunosuppression. Monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs) are implicated as key players in inhibiting anti-tumor immune responses and their frequencies are closely associated with tumor progression. Tumor-derived signals, including signaling via STAT3-COX-2, induce the transformation of monocytic precursors into suppressive M-MDSCs. In a retrospective assessment, we observed that survival of melanoma patients undergoing dendritic cell vaccination was negatively associated with blood M-MDSC levels. Previously, it was shown that platinum-based chemotherapeutics inhibit STAT signaling. Here, we show that cisplatin and oxaliplatin treatment interfere with the development of M-MDSCs, potentially synergizing with cancer immunotherapy.
