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

backgroundBone metastases (BM) represent one of the most common sites of metastasis. The study aimed to compare the composition of immune cell infiltration from aspirates of different BM prior to systemic therapy.

methodPhenotypic and functional analyses were conducted via multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) on BM-derived aspirates obtained from patients with breast cancer (BC, n = 6), patients with prostate cancer (PC, n = 5), patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (n = 7), patients with myeloma (MM, n = 10) and bone aspirates from age-matched non-malignant controls (NMC, n = 10).

resultsAcross all tumors aspirates the fraction of CD8

conclusionThe study shows that an altered immune cell composition is present in BM across the different tumor entities. Additionally, molecules of the TIGIT checkpoint as well as of the purinergic pathway are aberrantly expressed by BM-infiltrating CD8
