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

objectiveTumor-infiltrating immune cells might add a predictive value for the prognostic stratification of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and chemotherapy response. We aimed to develop a prognostic model based on the tumor-infiltrating immune cell signature to improve the prediction of survival and chemotherapy benefits of patients with PDAC.

methodsThe abundance of tumor-infiltrating immune cells for 661 patients with PDAC from four different cohorts with survival data was collected in the training cohorts. Cox regression analysis and meta-analysis of immune cells were conducted to generate the tumor immune cell score (TICS) for prognostic stratification. Other two independent cohorts including 188 patients were then used to validate the model. Those patients who underwent chemotherapy were used to further analyze the value of TICS for predicting the chemotherapy response. Furthermore, the difference in the somatic mutations and immune-related molecules between the TICS subgroups was analyzed.

results6 out of 28 immune cells were found to be significantly associated with PDAC prognosis in the training cohorts (all

conclusionTICS might be used to predict PDAC patients with a better survival and greater chemotherapy benefit.
