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

PD-L1 is closely related to the immune escape process of tumour cells, and targeted PD-L1 clinical immunotherapy has been implemented. However, whether PD-L1 is involved in TAM/M2 polarization in the TME of NSCLC and its specific mechanism remain unclear. In order to clarify the specific role of PD-L1 in NSCLC and to seek new treatments for NSCLC, we designed a series of experimental studies. After constructing the co-culture system and conditioned medium system, the proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis, angiogenesis, EMT process and stemness of NSCLC were detected by MTT, flow cytometry, Transwell, endothelial cell tube formation and western blot assays. The results showed that αPD-L1 reversed TAM/M2 polarization by suppressing STAT3 phosphorylation in TAM/M2, therapy inhibiting NSCLC cell migration, angiogenesis, EMT process and stemness. However, αPD-L1 had no effect on the proliferation and apoptosis abilities of NSCLC cells. In vivo experiments showed that αPD-L1 inhibited lung metastasis of NSCLC and reversed TAM/M2 polarization in TME. The study investigates the mechanism by which PD-L1 regulates TAMs polarization in TME and promotes malignant progression of NSCLC, providing a new theoretical basis for PD-L1 targeted therapy of NSCLC.
