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

introductionMyeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous cell population with the ability to suppress immune responses. MDSCs usually cluster in cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. Although there have been some studies on MDSCs in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), the correlation between the peripheral levels of MDSCs in patients with various subtypes of B cell NHL and clinical features and prognosis remains inconclusive. This study aimed at the issue.

methods101 patients with B cell NHL and 15 age-matched healthy controls were included in this study. Flow cytometric detection of monocytic-MDSCs (M-MDSCs) and granulocytic-MDSCs (G-MDSCs) was done.

resultsIn this study, we found that counts of circulating M-MDSCs and G-MDSCs were significantly increased in different clinical statuses of B-NHL patients compared to healthy controls. Similarly, a significant increase in the levels of M-MDSCs and G-MDSCs was found among the diverse types of B-NHL compared with healthy donors. Stratification studies indicated MDSCs expansion was closely associated with disease progression (tumor stage, LDH levels and B syndromes). Moreover, the overall survival time of patients with G-MDSCs (%) ≥ 98.70% was shorter than patients with G-MDSCs (%) < 98.70% in newly diagnosed B-NHL subgroup, meanwhile, there was a significant difference in survival of patients with M-MDSCs (%) ≥ 7.19% compared to patients with M-MDSCs (%) < 7.19% in relapsed B-NHL subgroup.

conclusionOur results suggested that M-MDSCs and G-MDSCs may be a potential and efficient index to evaluate the prognosis of B-NHL patients.
