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

Besides their important function in immune homeostasis, autoimmunity, and peripheral tolerance, regulatory T cells (Tregs) also play a crucial role in cancer immune evasion, by assisting tumors to shield from antitumor responses by effector cells. Tregs are recruited to infiltrate tumors and upon finding favourable conditions in the tumor microenvironment, proliferate and suppress effector T cell function thereby promoting tumor escape and growth. In human cancer patients and mouse models, a low ratio of effector T cells to Tregs is a key feature of this immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment and correlates with poor prognosis. This chapter describes protocols for the isolation of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) from solid tumors, their quantification, and phenotyping via flow cytometry to assess the effector T cell:Treg ratio and the expression of relevant markers.
