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

backgroundTo analyse the regulatory effect of

methodsFn infection, NLRP3 expression and MDSCs infiltration in ESCC tissues were detected by RNAscope and immunohistochemistry (IHC). The correlation between these three factors and the clinicopathological features and survival of ESCC patients was analysed. A coculture system of human peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs) and ESCC cells was established to simulate the tumour microenvironment.

resultsFn infection was consistent with high NLRP3 expression and MDSCs enrichment in ESCC tissues. Moreover, the survival time of ESCC patients was significantly shortened under Fn infection, high NLRP3 expression and MDSCs enrichment. In the

conclusionsFn infection can induce high expression of NLRP3 in ESCC, lead to MDSCs enrichment, weaken the body's antitumour immunity, and lead to CDDP treatment resistance. The effective elimination of Fn and the inhibition of MDSCs enrichment may provide new strategies and treatments for ESCC.HighlightsThe survival of ESCC patients with Fn infection, high NLRP3 expression and MDSCs enrichment was significantly shortened.Fn infection could cause CDDP resistance in ESCC.Fn could induce the enrichment of MDSCs in the tumour microenvironment by activating NLRP3 in ESCC cells.
