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

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a category of immature myeloid cells that have an important function in suppressing immune responses in a variety of pathological settings. Thus, MDSCs are the subject of intensive studies regarding their recruitment, expulsion, deactivation, and maturation promotion. Tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 15 (TNFSF15) is produced largely by vascular endothelial cells in mature blood vessels with expression also observed in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and dendritic cells (DCs) within the tumor stroma. In addition to inhibiting the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells and the differentiation of bone marrow-derived endothelial cell progenitors, TNFSF15 is able to promote the maturation of DC, as well as to modulate the polarization of naive M2-macrophages into M1-macrophages capable of eliminating cancer cells, and activate T-cell. In this study, we investigated whether a recombinant TNFSF15 results in a substantial reduction of MDSC accumulation in Lewis lung cancer (LLC) tumor-bearing mice. LLC allograft model mice were administered recombinant TNFSF15 (5 mg·kg
