Decoding circulating neutrophil phenotypes in triple-negative breast cancer via optimized single-cell RNA sequencing.
Article in Cancer immunology, immunotherapy : CII, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Neutrophils are emerging as key regulators of tumor biology, influencing cancer progression, immune evasion, and therapeutic response. However, their transcriptomic characterization remains challenging due to low RNA content, limiting confident discrimination from other leukocyte populations at the single-cell level. To address this, we developed a robust analytical framework for single-cell RNA sequencing data, calculating a neutrophil score for each cell based on two curated neutrophil marker gene panels and excluding cells expressing non-neutrophil marker genes.White blood cells were isolated from liquid biopsies of six triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients and six non-malignant donors, sequenced, and analyzed to profile 84 neutrophils isolated from TNBC patients and 128 neutrophils isolated from control donors. TNBC neutrophils displayed significant upregulation of migration-associated genes (-log
