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

CD4+Th subsets play an important role in tumor progression but their expression characteristics and clinical significance in human tumor microenvironment remains unclear. In this study, we aim to analyze the expression and clinical significance of tissue-infiltrating Th1, Th2 and Th17 in lung cancer by flow cytometry. We found that the frequency of CD3+CD4+IFN-γ+Th1 in tumor nest was significantly lower than that in tumor boundary, adjacent normal lung tissue or corresponding lymph node tissue; the frequency of CD3+CD4+IL-4+Th2 in tumor nest was significantly higher than that in tumor boundary, adjacent normal lung tissue or corresponding lymph node tissue; the frequency of CD3+CD4+IL-17+Th17 in tumor nest was significantly lower than that in tumor boundary, but not adjacent normal tissue or corresponding lymph node tissue. Survival analysis of 2-years survival after surgery showed that Th1high group was significantly lower compared with Th1low group; Th2high and Th17low is a good prognosis index compared with the Th2low and Th17high groups respectively, but this difference failed to significance. In addition, we also found that PD-1 expression showed a high level on lung tumor tissues and adjacent non- tumor tissue infiltrating T cells, and no significant difference was found between the two groups. However PD-L1 on CD45+CD14+mononcytes/macrophages in tumor tissue show a significantly higher level compared with that in adjacent nontumor tissues. In vitro stimulation experiments showed that IFN-γ could significantly increase PD-L1 expression on monocyte. In conclusion, we for the first time found Th1high is a poor indicator for prognosis of lung cancer.
