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

One obstacle in diagnostic pathology is the harmonization of one drug-one diagnostic tests for programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1). There are many challenges in accurate comparisons of diagnostic tests, such as differences in the titer of each antibody, detection system and dynamic range of visualization. Our previously developed digital immunostaining technique is highly sensitive and quantitative with the ability to quantify particles that bind in a one-to-one fashion with antibody in each cell. Determining the differences in the titer of each antibody with digital immunostaining may be beneficial for future harmonized analysis. To demonstrate the accuracy of digital immunostaining, the present study compared the number of particles with ELISA and nCounter data from five cell lines. NCI-H460 exhib-ited the highest level of PD-L1 protein, followed by A549, PC-3, NCI-H1299, and NCI-H446 cells. In addition, the PD-L1 mRNA values determined by nCounter corresponded with the order of the protein levels determined by ELISA. The present study revealed that digital immunostaining for PD-L1 was highly associated with ELISA and nCounter data. Among the four antibodies tested, the titer of all but SP142 coincided with ELISA and nCounter data. These results indicated that our digital immunostaining technique may be beneficial for future harmonized analysis.
