Pan-cancer Landscape of Programmed Death Ligand-1 and Programmed Death Ligand-2 Structural Variations.
Article in JCO precision oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeProgrammed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) receptor and ligand interactions are the target of immunotherapies for more than 20 cancer types. Biomarkers that predict response to immunotherapy are microsatellite instability, tumor mutational burden, and programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry. Structural variations (SVs) in PD-L1 (
methodsWe analyzed sequencing data from cancer cases with
resultsUsing data sets encompassing 300,000 tumors, we curated 486 cases with SVs in PD-L1 and PD-L2 and observed consistent breakpoint patterns, or hotspots. Leveraging The Cancer Genome Atlas, we observed significant upregulation in
conclusionOur findings show that the 3'-UTR is frequently affected, and that SVs are associated with increased expression of ligands and immune signatures. Retrospective evidence from curated studies suggests this genomic alteration could help identify candidates for PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. We expect these findings will better define
