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

The drug resistance of first-line crizotinib therapy for ROS proto-oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1) fusion non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is inevitable. Whether the administration of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is suitable for ROS 1 fusion NSCLCs or after the development of crizotinib resistance is still unknown. In this study, five different crizotinib resistant concentration cell lines (HCC78CR1-5) from primary sensitive HCC78 cells were cultured. Ba/F3 cells expressing crizotinib sensitive ROS1 fusion and crizotinib resistant ROS1-G2032R mutation were used to explore the relationship between ROS1 fusion, ROS1-G2032R mutation and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and the clinical potential of anti-PD-L1 ICI therapy. The signaling pathway net was compared between HCC78 and HCC78CR1-5 cells using RNA sequencing. Anti- PD-L1 ICI therapy was performed on mouse xenograft models with Ba/F3 ROS1 fusion or ROS1-G2032R mutation. HCC78CR1-5 showed more immunogenicity than HCC78 in immune-related pathways. The PD-L1 expression level was remarkably higher in HCC78CR1-5 with ROS1 fusion upregulation than HCC78 primary cell. Furthermore, the expression of PD-L1 was down-regulated by RNA interference with ROS1 siRNAs and up-regulated lower in Ba/F3 ROS1-G2032R resistant mutation than ROS1 fusion. Western blotting analysis showed the ROS1-SHP2 signaling pathway activation in HCC78CR1-5 cells, Ba/F3 ROS1 fusion and ROS1-G2032R resistant mutation. Mouse xenograft models with Ba/F3 ROS1 fusion showed more CD3+PD-1+ T cells both in blood and tissue, and more sensitivity than the cells with Ba/F3 ROS1-G2032R resistant mutation after anti-PD-L1 therapy. Our findings indicate that PD-L1 upregulation depends on ROS1 fusion more than ROS1-G2032R mutation. We share our insights of NSCLCs treatment management into the use of anti-PD-L1 ICI therapy in ROS1 fusion and not in ROS1-G2032R resistant mutation.
