LAG-3 confers poor prognosis and its blockade reshapes antitumor response in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in Oncoimmunology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 91 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 immune checkpoint molecule-specific monoclonal antibody have obtained encouraging results from preclinical studies and clinical trials, which promoted us to explore whether this kind of immunotherapy could be applicable to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) is an immune checkpoint control protein that negatively regulates T cells and immune response. Here, using the human tissue samples, we report these findings that LAG-3 is overexpressed on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs;
