Myeloperoxidase expressing tumor associated neutrophils are associated with worse prognosis in metastatic breast cancer patients.

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.
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 associated neutrophils (TANs) exert dual and opposing functions in tumors, acting pro-tumorigenic and anti-tumorigenic, depending on tumor progression, polarization state and subtype. Consequently, the prognostic impact of TANs in breast cancer is also contradictory. Since neutrophils are critically needed to fight infections in cancer patients, the mediators leading to tumor progression need more investigation as potential future targets. The neutrophil derived mediator myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a peroxidase with dual functions in tumors, acting both immune enhancing and suppressing. Patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) have aggressive tumors with a dismal prognosis and urgently need novel treatment strategies. Therefore, we here aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of TANs, MPO
