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

purposeProtein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type T (PTPRT), which is a well-known phosphatase and mutates frequently in melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Our research aims to elucidate its mutation association with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) efficacy.

methodsWe integrated whole-exome sequencing (WES)-based somatic mutation profiles and clinical characteristics of 631 melanoma samples received ICI agents from eight studies and 109 NSCLC samples from two studies. For validation, 321 melanoma and 350 NSCLC immunotherapy samples with targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) were employed. Besides, an independent NSCLC cohort contained 240 samples was also collected for further corroboration. Distinct immune infiltration was evaluated according to the PTPRT mutational status.

resultsIn the WES melanoma cohort, patients with PTPRT mutations harbored a significantly elevated ICI response rate (40.5% vs. 28.6%, p = 0.036) and a prolonged survival outcome (35.3 vs. 24.9 months, p = 0.006). In the WES NSCLC cohort, the favorable response and immunotherapy survival were also observed in PTPRT-mutated patients (p = 0.036 and 0.019, respectively). For the validation cohorts, the associations of PTRPT mutations with better prognoses were identified in melanoma, NSCLC, and pan-cancer patients with targeted-NGS (all p < 0.05). Moreover, immunology analyses showed the higher mutation burden, increased lymphocyte infiltration, decreased- activated-stroma, and immune response pathways were detected in patients with PTPRT mutations.

conclusionOur investigation indicates that PTPRT mutations may be considered as a potential indicator for assessing ICI efficacy in melanoma and NSCLC, even across multiple cancers. Further prospective validation cohorts are warranted.
