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

backgroundMyeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a subset of immature myeloid cells with immunosuppressive properties. Evidence suggests that abnormal immune system can lead to immune dysfunction and increase the risk of developing diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This study investigated the abnormality of MDSCs in the peripheral blood of patients with DLBCL.

methodsExpression, apoptosis, and proliferation of MDSCs was measured in the peripheral blood DLBCL patients and healthy donors (HDs) via flow cytometer. The co-culture groups included the MDSCs and DLBCL cells line and MDSCs and T cells. Using flow cytometry detected MDSCs and T cells proliferation, apoptosis, T cells activation and function in the co-culture groups. RNA transcriptome sequencing analysis was conducted on DLBCL-MDSCs and HDs-MDSCs. Combined with the clinicopathological data of DLBCL patients, the correlation between MDSCs and DLBCL progression was analyzed.

resultsThe expression of MDSCs in patients newly diagnosed with DLBCL was elevated. DLBCL tumor cells could stimulate MDSCs growth. DLBCL-MDSCs showed stronger immunosuppressive ability to T cells proliferation, activation and secretion of cytokines and associated with several clinical indicators such as Ann Arbor stage, serum LDH level, and lymphoma IPI score.

conclusionThis study investigated the abnormality of MDSCs and underscored the critical role of MDSCs in suppressing T cell function in DLBCL patients. It provides certain laboratory evidence for MDSCs as biomarkers of disease progression and treatment response in DLBCL.
