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

Tumor-induced systemic accumulation and polarization of neutrophils to an immunosuppressive phenotype is a potent driver of metastasis formation. Yet, how mammary tumors reprogram granulopoiesis at the molecular level and when tumor imprinting occurs during neutrophil development remains underexplored. Here, we combined single-cell, chromatin and functional analyses to unravel the tumor-driven reprogramming of granulopoiesis in the bone marrow, along with intervention studies aimed at reversing this process. We observe that mammary tumors accelerate commitment to the neutrophil lineage at the expense of lymphopoiesis and erythropoiesis without stimulating the development of a novel myeloid lineage. Moreover, tumor-directed immunosuppressive imprinting of neutrophils starts early in hematopoiesis. Treatment with anti-IL-1β normalizes tumor-induced granulopoiesis, reducing neutrophil immunosuppressive phenotype and mitigating metastatic spread. Together, these data provide molecular insights into the aberrant, tumor-driven neutrophil differentiation pathway leading to metastasis-promoting chronic inflammation and how it can be reversed to reduce metastatic spread.
