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

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a heme peroxidase that is mainly expressed and secreted by neutrophils. MPO's role in inflammatory diseases has been highlighted in recent years, but its role in tumor development remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the role of MPO in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In silico analysis revealed a survival benefit in patients with NSCLC and low MPO expression. Furthermore, a syngeneic tumor model using MPO knockout (KO) mice revealed that mice lacking MPO had lower tumor growth than controls. The reduction in tumor size was accompanied by an increase in lymphoid populations, including natural killer cells and CD8
