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

Objective: The subtypes of heterogeneous conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in lymph nodes (LN) cannot be distinguished because they share similar surface markers. This study aimed to identify cDCs, pDCs, and other cell types in DC-enriched LNs from patients with gastric cancer (GC) by analyzing surface markers and gene expression. Methods: Expression of surface markers, including CD141, CD1c, and CD123, in DC-enriched cells was analyzed by conventional flow cytometry and AbSeq using antibody-derived tags. Transcriptome and epitope analyses were used to characterize DC subtypes. The frequencies of heterogeneous DC subtypes were compared across clinical stages and molecular subtypes in patients with GC. Results: DC-enriched cells showed CD1c Conclusion: Cluster analysis of DC-enriched cells in LNs from our integrated dataset revealed subtypes of the cDC1, cDC2, and pDC lineages. We identified distinctive DC subtypes in the transitional state bridging differentiation between cDC1 and cDC2. CD137-DC may be an independent DC subset with mature and migratory features.
