Tumor Lymphocyte Infiltration Is Correlated with a Favorable Tumor Regression Grade after Neoadjuvant Treatment for Esophageal Adenocarcinoma.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
(1) Background: We aimed to explore the association between neoadjuvant treatment, tumor-infiltrating immune lymphocyte (TIL), and tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) and survival in patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. (2) Methods: Patients who underwent esophagectomy were divided into three groups according to their treatment modality and tumor regression grade (TRG): (i) surgery-only group (SG), (ii) good responders (GR) group (TRG 0−1), and (iii) bad responders (BR) group (TRG 2−3). We then carried out statistical correlations of the immunofluorescence analysis of the immune infiltrate in the esophageal surgical specimens with several clinical and pathological parameters. In addition, we analyzed The Cancer Genomic Atlas (TCGA) dataset for differences in TILs, TAMs, and protein expression in immune pathways. (3) Results: Forty-three patients (SG—15, GR—13, and BR—13) were evaluated. The highest enrichment of CD3+ (p < 0.001), CD8+ (p = 0.001) and CD4+ (p = 0.009) was observed in the stroma of GR patients. On multivariate analysis, only CD8+ T cell and signet-ring features were independent prognostic factors for overall survival. In TCGA analysis, we identified overexpression of TAM and colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R). (4) Conclusions: High enrichment of lymphocyte subpopulations in the microenvironment of esophageal adenocarcinoma is associated with a favorable response to neoadjuvant treatment and an improved patient outcome.
