Programmed Death-Ligand 1 Expression in Lymphovascular Tumor Emboli in Lung Cancer.

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
Introduction: Programmed death-ligand 1 Methods: We investigated PD-L1 expression in lung cancer primary tumor tissue, lymphovascular tumor emboli, and lymph node metastasis using the standard PD-L1 immunohistochemistry 22C3 pharmDx assay. PD-L1 expression was scored in the primary tumor, lymphovascular emboli, and lymph node metastasis by a pathologist using the tumor proportion score (TPS). Results: We collected and analyzed surgical specimens from 36 patients with lung cancer with lymph node metastasis. In the primary tumor, 64% of cases were PD-L1 negative (TPS < 1%), 25% were PD-L1 low (TPS 1%-49%), and 11% were PD-L1 high (TPS ≥ 50%). In contrast, in lymphovascular tumor emboli, 89% of cases were PD-L1 negative, 11% were PD-L1 low, and none were PD-L1 high. In lymph node metastases, 72% of cases were PD-L1 negative, 17% were PD-L1 low, and 11% were PD-L1 high. Conclusions: We observed a significant decrease of PD-L1 expression in lymphovascular tumor emboli compared with that in primary tumors (
