[TILGen study-immunological targets in patients with breast cancer : Influence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes].
Review in Der Pathologe, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe interaction of our immune system with breast cancer (BC) cells prompted the investigation of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and targeted, tumor antigen-specific immunotherapy.
objectivesCorrelation between TILs and pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NACT). Tumor-specific antigens (TSAs) in HER2+ and triple negative BC and establishment of TSA-specific therapies within the interdisciplinary TILGen study.
methodsIllustration of the TILGen study design. Assessment of TILs and correlation with pCR within this BC study.
resultspCR was achieved in 38.4% (56/146) and associated with estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor negative (ER-/PR-) and HER2+ tumors. Lymphocytic predominant BC (LPBC) was found in 16.4% (24/146), particularly in ER-/PR- (ER-: 27.3% vs. ER+: 9.9%, PR-: 22.3% vs. PR+: 8.2%), large, and poorly differentiated BC. TILs were significantly correlated with pCR in multivariate analysis. In LPBC, pCR was achieved in 66.7%, whereas it was 32.8% in non-LPBC.
conclusionsFirst results confirm the influence of the human immune system on the response to NACT in HER2+ and triple negative BC. TSA-specific immunotherapy might improve the outcome in BC patients but there is an urgent need for comprehensive studies to further investigate this issue.
