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

Whether PD-L1 expression is associated with survival outcomes in gastric cancer (GC) is controversial. The inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is effective against genomically unstable tumors. Hypothesizing that also the clinical significance of PD-L1 might be dependent on the activation of molecular circuits ensuring genomic stability, we evaluated PD-L1 expression in tissue samples from 72 advanced GC patients treated with first-line chemotherapy. Samples were already characterized for DNA damage repair (DDR) component expression (pATM, pChk1, pWee1, γ-H2AX and pRPA2) along with mutations in DDR-linked genes (
