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

backgroundPatients who survive the excessive inflammatory phase of sepsis experience prolonged immunoparalysis/immunosuppression. During this phase, the patient's immune system is severely impaired, which increases the patient's susceptibility to septic complications. Sepsis survivors have a significantly greater incidence of cancer, but the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is unknown.

methodsWe constructed two sepsis-melanoma models to assess the relationship between sepsis and sepsis-related concomitant cancer. In our investigation, we employed a range of experimental technique to elucidate the intricate mechanisms through which the immunoparalysis phase of sepsis facilitates melanoma progression. Furthermore, we induced trained immunity with oroxylin A (OA) to evaluate its ability to reverse immunoparalysis and subsequent tumor progression in sepsis-melanoma models.

resultsWe showed that sepsis upregulated the serum level of interleukin (IL)-6 and the number of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), regulated G-MDSCs/M-MDSCs and inhibited CD8

conclusionSepsis can promote cancer progression by upregulating MIF and IL-6, increasing the G-MDSCs/M-MDSCs ratio and reducing the number and function of CD8
