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

Tumor-specific T helper (Th) cells have a central role in the immune response against cancer. However, there exist distinct Th cell subsets with very different and antagonizing properties. Some Th subsets such as Th1 protect against cancer, while others (Th2, T regulatory/Treg) are considered detrimental or of unknown significance (T follicular helper/Tfh, Th17). The Th composition of human solid tumors remains poorly characterized. Therefore, we established a four-color multiplex chromogenic immunohistochemical assay for detection of Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh and Treg cells in human tumor sections. The method was used to analyze resected primary lung tumors from 11 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Four microanatomical regions were investigated: tumor epithelium, tumor stroma, peritumoral tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) and non-cancerous distal lung tissue. In tumor epithelium and stroma, most CD4
