Aging potentially reduces CD169 expression in sinus macrophages of pelvic lymph nodes.

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
The number of patients with prostate cancer has been increasing around the world. Although anticancer immunotherapy targeting the immune checkpoint molecules has been approved for many types of cancer, no significant anti-cancer effects have been observed in patients with prostate cancer. Lymph node sinus macrophages (LSMs) are known to work as antigen-presenting cells, which are critical for anticancer immune responses. Previous studies have suggested that CD169 expression in LSMs affects anticancer immune responses in several cancers, including prostate cancer. In the present study, we aimed to examine the correlation between the tumor immune microenvironment and activation status of LSMs in patients with prostate cancer. Forty-two cases of high-risk localized prostate cancer treated using robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and lymph node dissection between 2017 and 2021 were enrolled. CD169 expression in LSMs was examined by immunohistochemistry. The results indicated that CD169 expression in LSMs was significantly decreased in older (≥ 75 years) compared with younger patients. However, no significant correlation was found between CD169 expression and any other clinicopathological factors. In addition, CD3- and CD8-postitive lymphocytes in primary cancer tissues were evaluated in the same cases, and their correlations with CD169 expression in LSMs were tested. Although these lymphocytes tended to be higher in CD169
