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

backgroundA growing body of evidence suggests that T-cell responses against neoantigens are critical regulators of response to immune checkpoint blockade. We previously showed that circulating neoantigen-specific CD8 T cells in patients with lung cancer responding to anti-Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) (atezolizumab) exhibit a unique phenotype with high expression of CD57, CD244, and KLRG1. Here, we extended our analysis on neoantigen-specific CD8 T cells to patients with metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) and further profiled total CD8 T cells to identify blood-based predictive biomarkers of response to atezolizumab.

methodsWe identified tumor neoantigens from 20 patients with mUC and profiled their peripheral CD8 T cells using highly multiplexed combinatorial tetramer staining. Another set of patients with mUC treated with atezolizumab (n=30) or chemotherapy (n=40) were selected to profile peripheral CD8 T cells by mass cytometry. Using single-cell transcriptional analysis (single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq)), together with CITE-seq (cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing) and paired T-cell receptor (TCR) sequencing, we further characterized peripheral CD8 T cells in a subset of patients (n=16).

resultsHigh frequency of CD57 was observed in neoantigen-specific CD8 T cells in patients with mUC responding to atezolizumab. Extending these findings to bulk CD8 T cells, we found higher frequency of CD57 expressing CD8 T cells before treatment in patients responding to atezolizumab (n=20, p<0.01) but not to chemotherapy. These findings were corroborated in a validation cohort (n=30, p<0.01) and notably were independent of known biomarkers of response. scRNA-seq analysis identified a clonally expanded cluster enriched within CD57

conclusionsCollectively, we show high frequencies of CD57 among neoantigen-specific and bulk CD8 T cells in patients responding to atezolizumab. The TCR repertoire overlap between peripheral CD57
