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

PD-L1 profiling was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as a companion diagnostic for anti-PD1 treatment in patients with head and neck cancer, ushering in a new era for precision medicine. However, the routine development and implementation of such testing is still limited by current clinical workflows and the lack of better and more comprehensive alternatives. In this review, the authors discuss the real-world challenges of clinically based biomarker testing and highlight the advantages of developing fine-needle aspiration (FNA)-based biomarker testing that would enable frequent and serial tumor sampling. A conceptual and technological innovation is introduced, fast analytical screening technique (FAST)-FNA (FAST chemistry-enabled FNA), which is being developed to inform immunotherapy treatment options in patients with head and neck cancer and to assist with the development of the next generation of predictive biomarkers.
