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

backgroundIn our previous study, we identified a population of adiponectin expressing regulatory T cells (Tregs) residing within thymic nurse cell complexes, which were capable of inhibiting the development of breast cancer in vitro. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with no proper treatment at present is characterized by the absence of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential of a cultured T cell fraction comprising adiponectin-expressing Tregs, referred to as A-TregTF (adiponectin-expressing Treg-containing T cell fraction), in inhibiting the progression of TNBC in vivo.

methodsThe efficacy of a spontaneously expanding T cell fraction comprising adiponectin-expressing Treg in inhibiting tumor growth was analyzed in a murine orthotopic 4 T1-Luc TNBC model.

resultsThe treatment with T cell fraction containing adiponectin-expressing Tregs significantly inhibited the growth and metastasis of orthotopically transplanted 4 T1-Luc tumor cells. Histopathological examination further revealed that the adiponectin-expressing Tregs infiltrated the tumor tissue via a cell-in-cell mechanism and were found to be specifically localized around the necrotic areas.

conclusionsBased on our findings, the T cell fraction comprising adiponectin-expressing Tregs, represents a potential candidate for adoptive cell therapy against TNBC.
