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

backgroundLung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) accounts for about 30% of all non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). However, only a small percentage of LUSC patients gain benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).

methodsThis study analyzed LUSC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), which were divided into 2 groups: PD-L1 high-expression/TMB-high (TPH) and PD-L1 low-expression/TMB-low (TPL) group based on programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and tumor mutational burden (TMB) status. The differences in tumor-infiltrating immune cells were estimated between the 2 groups. The overlap of differentially expressed genes and proteins (DEGs and DEPs) between 2 groups were used as candidate biomarkers. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to evaluate the association between risk score and overall survival (OS).

resultsMore abundant immune infiltration fractions were found in TPH group. Janus kinase 2 (
