Correlation of PD-L1 expression with toxicities and response in oropharyngeal cancers treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy.
Article in Contemporary oncology (Poznan, Poland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: The programmed death receptor ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a cell-surface glycoprotein expressed in tumour cells (TCs) and is also upregulated in tumour infiltrating lymphocytes. The effect of PD-L1 expression on TCs and tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) on acute radiation toxicity and response in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy is less known. Material and methods: Squamous cell carcinoma of oropharynx with stage II-IVA (AJCC 8 Results: Of 51 patients, 20 (39.2%) had PD-L1 expression in TCs and 18 (35.3%) in TILs. Patients with PD-L1 expression in TCs had fewer grade ≥ 3 oral mucositis (25% vs. 58%; Conclusions: Positive PD-L1 expression is associated with fewer acute radiation toxicities, and this could be used as a potential biomarker.
