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

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most specialized antigen-presenting cells, and lymph nodes (LNs) play an important role in the DC-mediated T-cell response. We evaluated the infiltration of CD1a-positive DCs (CD1a-DCs), i.e., immature DCs, and S100-positive dendritic cells (S100-DCs), a mixture of immature and mature DCs, in 73 cases of laryngeal cancer and its regional LNs. Among them, 31 patients underwent radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) prior to surgery. No significant difference was found for CD1a-DC infiltration in the primary tumors, metastatic LNs and non-metastatic LNs, while S100-DCs were significantly fewer in number in the primary tumors and metastatic LNs compared to non-metastatic LNs. The cases which showed a high infiltration of S100-DCs in the metastatic LNs appeared to show a favorable prognosis, although statistical significance was not reached. In the RT/CRT group, the infiltration of the CD1a-DCs and S100-DCs was less in the primary tumors and metastatic LNs compared to the treatment-naive group. Conversely, the RT/CRT group showed higher CD1a-DC and S100-DC numbers in the non-metastatic LNs compared to the treatment-naïve group. Thus, DC maturation in metastatic LNs plays an important role in tumor immunity in laryngeal cancer, and the infiltration of DCs into the primary tumor and metastatic LNs is impaired by RT/CRT.
