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

Neutrophils, which represent about 50-70% of circulating leukocytes in humans, have been viewed as short-lived effector cells of the innate immune system with a primary role in the clearance of pathogens and taking part in inflammatory processes. More recent evidence shows that neutrophils make up a significant portion of the inflammatory cell infiltration in many types of cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) can be divided into protumorigenic and antitumorigenic phenotypes. The biological features and functions of these TANs are under the influence of the tumor microenvironment. TANs also play a role in determining the responsiveness of NSCLC to immunotherapies targeting the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) axis. This review aimed to summarize recent findings regarding the role of TANs in NSCLC progression and PD-1/PD-L1 targeted immunotherapy.
