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

backgroundDue to the possible influence of inflammation and gut microbiota in cancers.

methodsFc gamma receptor IIb deficient (FcGRIIb-/-) and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase deficient (cGAS-/-) mice, the model with hyperinflammation and hypo-inflammation, respectively, were subcutaneously injected with MC38 cells (a murine colon cancer cell line).

resultsAs such, the tumor burdens were most prominent in cGAS-/- mice, while FcGRIIb-/- mice demonstrated the least tumor sizes compared with wild-type (WT). Intra-tumoral mononuclear cells of FcGRIIb-/- (hematoxylin and eosin staining) were more prominent than other groups with the most dominant CD86-positive cells (mostly M1 proinflammatory macrophages) and the least CD206-positive cells (mostly M2 anti-inflammatory macrophages). While fecal microbiome analysis demonstrated a subtle difference among mouse strains with tumors at 24 days post-cancer injection, serum cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1α, IFN-β, IFN-γ, IL-23, IL-12p70, GM-CSF, IL-27, and IL-17A) (fluorescence-encoded bead multiplex assay) and the expansion of immune cells in the spleens of FcGRIIb-/- mice (flow cytometry) were more prominent than others. With bone marrow-derived macrophages, prominent M1 (LPS) and M2 polarization (IL4 and cancer supernatant) in FcGRIIb-/- and cGAS-/- macrophages, respectively, were demonstrated using polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry. The most prominent tumoricidal activity (percentage of F4/80-negative flexible780 viable dye-positive cells using flow cytometry) of LPS-stimulated FcGRIIb-/- macrophages compared with other groups supported dominant pro-inflammatory characteristics of FcGRIIb-/- macrophages.

conclusionsIn conclusion, the protective and promoting effects of FcGRIIb-/- and cGAS-/- mice, respectively, against cancers are partly related to macrophage functions with a subtle correlation to fecal microbiota, and FcGRIIb inhibitors and cGAS enhancers might be helpful for cancer adjuvant treatment.
