Tumor-Infiltrating PD-L1+ Neutrophils Induced by GM-CSF Suppress T Cell Function in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Predict Unfavorable Prognosis.
Article in Journal of inflammation research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
purposeChronic inflammation contributes to tumor initiation, progression, and immune escape. Neutrophils are the major component of inflammatory response and participate in the tumorigenesis process. However, compared to other immune cells in the tumor microenvironment of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), neutrophils, especially the tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs), have not yet been comprehensively explored. The mechanism for regulating the crosstalk between TANs and tumor cells still remains unclear. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe distribution profiles and phenotypic features of neutrophils and other inflammatory immune cell populations from a large LSCC patient cohort were systemically analyzed. Co-culturing of peripheral blood associated neutrophils (PANs) and TANs with PBMCs was performed, and the immunosuppression effect on T-cells was examined.
resultsLSCC microenvironment is highly inflammatory with remarkable TANs infiltration, which is often associated with unfavorable prognosis and advanced clinical stage. We find that TANs in LSCC display morphologically immature and lower apoptosis, exhibit distinctively immunosuppressive phenotype of high PD-L1, and suppress CD8
conclusionTumor-infiltrating PD-L1+ neutrophils induced by LSCC-derived GM-CSF suppress T cell proliferation and activation in the inflammatory microenvironment of LSCC and predict unfavorable prognosis. These TANs cripple antitumor T cell immunity and promote tumor progression. Our findings provide a basis for targeting PD-L1+TANs or GM-CSF as a new immunotherapeutic strategy for LSCC.
