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

With the widespread use of programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) blockade therapy, sensitive and specific predictive biomarkers that guide patient selection are urgently needed. T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire, which reflects antitumor T-cell responses based on antigen specificity, is expected as a novel biomarker for PD-1 blockade therapy. In the present study, the TCR repertoire of eight patients with gastrointestinal cancer treated with anti-PD-1 antibody (nivolumab) was analyzed. To analyze the tumor-associated T-cell clones in the blood and their mobilization into the tumor, we focused on T-cell clones that presented in both blood and tumor (blood-tumor overlapping clones). Responders to PD-1 blockade tended to exhibit a higher number of overlapping clones in the tumor and a higher total frequency in the blood. Moreover, a higher total frequency of overlapping clones in blood CD8
