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

backgroundThe PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx used on the Dako Autostainer Link 48 (ASL48) staining platform is an established method for assessing programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in tumor tissue and determining patient eligibility for pembrolizumab treatment; however, the availability of this platform is limited in Europe and Asia.

objectivesThe aims of this study were to develop and optimize protocols for the PD-L1 22C3 antibody concentrate with multiple immunohistochemistry staining platforms and to validate these protocols using PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) with a cut-off of ≥ 1 in gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

designThe 22C3 antibody concentrate was tested and optimized protocols were developed for use with three staining platforms: Dako ASL48, Ventana BenchMark ULTRA, and Leica BOND-MAX. Tumor specimens (N = 120) from patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma were used for the validation study; these specimens were evaluated independently by three pathologists for PD-L1 CPS as a continuous variable and using a cut-off of ≥ 1. PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx used on the Dako ASL48 platform served as the reference or gold standard.

resultsThe intraclass correlation coefficient of CPS as a continuous variable between the gold standard and each staining platform assessed was 0.910-0.989. When CPS was dichotomized based on a cut-off of ≥ 1, depending on the pathologist and the platform used, positive percentage agreement was 81-99% and negative percentage agreement was 90-100%. Interobserver agreement using the gold standard showed substantial agreement (κ = 0.779).

conclusionThe PD-L1 22C3 antibody concentrate can potentially be used with the laboratory-developed test on three commercially available immunohistochemistry staining platforms to determine PD-L1 expression in tumor samples from patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
