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

For resectable cancer patients, a method that could precisely predict the risk of postoperative recurrence would be crucial for guiding adjuvant treatment. Since T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires had been shown to be closely related to the dynamics of cancers, here we enrolled a cohort of patients to evaluate the potential of TCR repertoires in predicting the prognosis of resectable non-small cell lung cancers. Specifically, TCRβ repertoires were analyzed in surgical tumor tissues and matched adjacent non-tumor tissues from 39 patients enrolled with resectable non-small cell lung cancer, through target enrichment and high-throughput sequencing. As a result, there are significant differences between the TCR repertories of tumor samples and those of matched adjacent non-tumor samples as evaluated by criteria like the number of clonotypes. In addition, TCR repertoires were significantly associated with a few clinical features, as well as somatic mutations. Finally, certain TCRβ variable-joining (V-J) pairings were featured to build a logistic regression model in predicting postoperative recurrence of resectable non-small cell lung cancers with a testing area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of around 0.9. Thus, we hypothesize that TCR repertoires could be potentially used to predict prognosis after curative surgery for non-small cell lung cancer patients.
