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

introductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of PD-L1 in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Its relation with clinicopathological variables, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and survival was also determined.

resultsPositive PD-L1 status for the SP142 clone related with improved overall survival in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Tumors heavily infiltrated by tumor infiltrating lymphocytes were also linked with better outcome, and this as well for the total number of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes as for the CD3 MATERIALS AND

methodsFormalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue from oropharyngeal tumors of 99 patients was immunohistochemically stained for PD-L1 (SP142 and 22C3 clones), CD3, CD8 and FoxP3. Expression of PD-L1, CD3, CD8, FoxP3 and HPV status were correlated with clinicopathological variables. Overall survival was determined by a log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test whereas the Cox proportional hazard model was used for multivariate analysis.

conclusionsOur results demonstrate that CD8
