Impaired Granularity in T cell Subsets but not in B cell Favors the Carcinogenesis of the Breast: A Preliminary Study in Indonesian Women Cohort.

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
objectiveThe progress made in cancer immunology has led to the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. However, despite these advances, the superficial characteristics of immune cells have been frequently overlooked: This oversight may be attributed to a limited understanding of the intricate relationships between immune cells and their microenvironment. This study seeks to address this limitation by comprehensively examining cell size and granularity in breast cancer (BC) patients and healthy donors (HD).
methodsPeripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples were isolated from BC patients and HD. We examined the size (FSC-A%rCV) and granularity (SSC-A%rCV) of immune cell subsets in both patient groups and HD using flowcytometry.
resultsDespite the absence of statistically significant variations in cell size between BC and HD, visual examination reveals noticeable discrepancies. There is a substantial decrease in granularity in CD8 and CD4 T-cell populations in BC compared to HD which is not observed in B cells.
conclusionOur analysis shows that while the size of immune cells may not be significantly altered in breast cancer patients compared to healthy donors, a closer examination of cell granularity reveals a distinct pattern. Specifically, the T-cell populations, including CD8 and CD4 cells, exhibit a substantial decrease in granularity in BC compared to HD. In contrast, B cells remain unaffected, suggesting that the granularity of T cells is uniquely susceptible to perturbations in breast cancer. This observation highlights the importance of considering cell granularity as a critical aspect of immune cell function, particularly in the context of cancer development.
