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

Immunotherapy with dendritic cells (DCs) in cancer patients aims to activate the immune response to eliminate neoplastic cells. The present study aimed to investigate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated bone marrow-derived dendritic cells in investigating antitumor immune response in experimental breast cancer. For this, we submitted bone marrow pluripotent cells of Balb/c mice differentiated by GM-CSF and IL-4 to maturation with TNF-α and tumor lysate (DCs protocol) or with TNF-α, LPS, and tumor lysate (LPS/DCs protocol). Both immunotherapies were tested in 4T1 breast cancer to evaluate their impact on splenic and tumor microenvironment. We observed that DCs and LPS/DCs reduce the tumor growth rate (p < 0.0001). Besides, the LPS/DCs vaccine shows higher splenic and intratumoral T helper lymphocytes (p < 0.001). Both vaccines increased the production of IFN-γ in the tumor microenvironment (p < 0.0001). The LPS/DCs induced lower Treg lymphocytes and macrophages in the tumor microenvironment (p < 0.0001). The results allow us to conclude that bone marrow-derived dendritic cells stimulated with LPS have been shown to reduce tumor growth rate efficiently and could be better immunotherapy in breast cancer by reducing immunosuppressive cells and increasing antitumoral immune cells in the tumor microenvironment.
