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

Elevated peripheral myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) predicted suppressed anti-tumour immunity and poor prognosis in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. Here we demonstrated that tumour-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) served as a messenger, delivering cholesterol from lymphoma cells to macrophages. Through internalisation of tumour-derived EVs, macrophages were activated and secreted IL-1β via the NLRP3/IL-1β axis, leading to IL-1β-mediated MDSC expansion, as well as T cell suppression and exhaustion in DLBCL. Furthermore, macrophage depletion in vitro and in vivo impeded MDSC infiltration induced by tumour-derived EVs. Pharmacological inhibition of cholesterol metabolism with metformin suppressed the secretion of EVs from DLBCL cells, accompanied by decreased IL-1β secretion and MDSC accumulation. Thus, we concluded that tumour-derived EVs induce MDSC accumulation in a macrophage-dependent manner and could be targeted by metformin through inhibition of cholesterol biogenesis in DLBCL.
