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

As for molecular alterations of lung adenocarcinoma, it is critical that pathologists are able to give PD-L1 expression status before first-line of treatment. The present study compared PD-L1 expression (clone 22-C3) in decalcified using EDTA or formic acid and non-decalcified lung cancer metastases bone samples. Amongst the 84 bone samples analysed for PD-L1 expression, and independently of decalcification, TPS ≥ 1% was 25.0% and ≥ 50% was 11.4%. There was no significant difference between decalcified samples (
