Imbalance of Circulating Follicular Regulatory and Follicular Helper T Cell Subpopulations Is Associated with Disease Progression and Serum CYFRA 21-1 Levels in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.
Article in Current medical science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the changes of follicular helper T (TFH) and follicular regulatory T (TFR) cell subpopulations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their significance.
methodsPeripheral blood was collected from 58 NSCLC patients at different stages and 38 healthy controls. Flow cytometry was used to detect TFH cell subpopulation based on programmed death 1 (PD-1) and inducible co-stimulator (ICOS), and TFR cell subpopulation based on cluster determinant 45RA (CD45RA) and forkhead box protein P3 (FoxP3). The levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-17a (IL-17a), interleukin-21 (IL-21), and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in the plasma were measured, and changes in circulating B cell subsets and plasma IgG levels were also analyzed. The correlation between serum cytokeratin fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1) levels and TFH, TFR, or B cell subpopulations was further explored.
resultsThe TFR/TFH ratio increased significantly in NSCLC patients. The CD45RA
conclusionCirculating TFH and TFR cell subpopulations and plasmablasts dynamically change in different stages of NSCLC, which is associated with serum CYFRA 21-1 levels and reflects disease progression.
