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

Lymph node metastasis is associated with tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis in patients. Despite its significance in cancer progression, how immune cells in the tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) participate in cancer immune regulation remains poorly understood. It has been reported that both anti-tumor and exhausted tumor-specific T cells can be induced in the TDLNs; however, B cell activation and maturation in the TDLN has received far less attention. In our studies using C57BL/6 mouse syngeneic E0771 breast cancer or B16F10 melanoma cell lines, tumor-associated antigens were found colocalized with the follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) in the germinal centers (GCs), where antigen-specific B cell maturation occurs. LN conduits and the subcapsular sinus (SCS) macrophages are two major routes of antigen trafficking to FDCs. Tumor growth induced LN conduit expansion in the B cell zone and disrupted the SCS macrophage layer, facilitating both the entry of tumor-associated antigens into the B cell zone and access to FDCs located in the GCs. Regional delivery of clodronate liposome specifically depleted SCS macrophages in the TDLN, increasing GC formation, and promoting tumor growth. Our study suggests that TDLN reconstruction creates a niche that favors B cell activation and maturation during tumor growth.
