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 understanding of the molecular pathways involved in the dynamic modulation of the tumor microenvironment (TME) has led to the development of innovative treatments for advanced melanoma, including immune checkpoint blockade therapies. These approaches have revolutionized the treatment of melanoma, but are not effective in all patients, resulting in responder and non-responder populations. Physical interactions among immune cells, tumor cells and all the other components of the TME (i.e., cancer-associated fibroblasts, keratinocytes, adipocytes, extracellular matrix, etc.) are essential for effective antitumor immunotherapy, suggesting the need to define an immune score model which can help to predict an efficient immunotherapeutic response. In this study, we performed a multiplex immunostaining of CD3, FOXP3 and GRZB on both primary and unmatched in-transit metastatic melanoma lesions and defined a novel ratio between different lymphocyte subpopulations, demonstrating its potential prognostic role for cancer immunotherapy. The application of the suggested ratio can be useful for the stratification of melanoma patients that may or may not benefit from anti-PD-1 treatment.
