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

backgroundGastric cancer (GC) is characterized by an immunosuppressive and treatment-resistant tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Here, we investigated the roles of different immunosuppressive cell types in the development of the GC TIME.

methodsSingle-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and multiplex immunostaining of samples from untreated or immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-resistant GC patients were used to examine the correlation between certain immunosuppressive cells and the prognosis of GC patients.

resultsThe results of the scRNA-seq analysis revealed that tumor-infiltrating monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (TI-M-MDSCs) expressed higher levels of genes with immunosuppressive functions than other immunosuppressive cell types. Additionally, M-MDSCs in GC tissues expressed significantly higher levels of these markers than adjacent normal tissues. The M-MDSCs were most enriched in GC tissues relative to adjacent normal tissues. Among the immunosuppressive cell types assessed, the M-MDSCs were most enriched in GC tissues relative to adjacent normal tissues; moreover, their presence was most strongly associated with a poor prognosis. Immediate early response 3 (IER3), which we identified as a differentially expressed gene between M-MDSCs of GC and adjacent normal tissues, was an independent poor prognostic factor in GC patients (P = 0.0003). IER3

conclusionsThe present study suggests that TI-M-MDSCs, especially IER3
