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

The transitory emergence of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in infants is important for the homeostasis of the immune system in early life. The composition and functional heterogeneity of MDSCs in newborns remain elusive, hampering the understanding of the importance of MDSCs in neonates. In this study, we unraveled the maturation trajectory of polymorphonuclear (PMN)-MDSCs from the peripheral blood of human newborns by performing single-cell RNA sequencing. Results indicated that neonatal PMN-MDSCs differentiated from self-renewal progenitors, antimicrobial PMN-MDSCs, and immunosuppressive PMN-MDSCs to late PMN-MDSCs with reduced antimicrobial capacity. We also established a simple framework to distinguish these distinct stages by CD177 and CXCR2. Importantly, preterm newborns displayed a reduced abundance of classical PMN-MDSCs but increased late PMN-MDSCs, consistent with their higher susceptibility to infections and inflammation. Furthermore, newborn PMN-MDSCs were distinct from those from cancer patients, which displayed minimum expression of genes about antimicrobial capacity. This study indicates that the heterogeneity of PMN-MDSCs is associated with the maturity of human newborns.
