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

Recent studies highlighted the clinicopathologic importance of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in delineating molecular attributes and therapeutic potentials. However, the overall TME cell infiltration landscape in nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been comprehensively characterized. In this study, we used consensus non-negative matrix factorization molecular subtyping to determine TME cell infiltration patterns and identified 3 TME clusters (TME-C1, -C2, -C3) characterized by distinct clinicopathologic features, infiltrating cells, and biological processes. Proteomics analyses revealed that cyclic GMP-AMP-stimulator of interferon genes immune signaling-mediated protein and phosphorylation levels were significantly upregulated in inflammation-related TME-C2 clusters. The score extracted from the TME-related signature (TMEsig-score) divided patients with NSCLC into high- and low-score subgroups, where a high score was associated with favorable prognosis and immune infiltration. The genomic landscape revealed that patients with low TMEsig-score harbored more somatic copy number alterations and higher mutation frequency of driver genes involving STK11, KEAP1, SMARCA4, and others. Drug sensitivity analyses suggested that tumors with high TMEsig-score were responsible for favorable clinical response to immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment. In summary, this study highlights that comprehensive recognizing of the TME cell infiltration landscape will contribute to enhancing our understanding of TME immune regulation and promote effectiveness of precision biotherapy strategies.
