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

Metastasis to lymph nodes (LNs) is a common feature of disease progression in most solid organ malignancies. Consequently, LN biopsy and lymphadenectomy are common clinical practices, not only because of their diagnostic utility but also as a means of deterring further metastatic spread. LN metastases have the potential to seed additional tissues and can induce metastatic tolerance, a process by which tumor-specific immune tolerance in LNs promotes further disease progression. Nonetheless, phylogenetic studies have revealed that distant metastases are not necessarily derived from nodal metastases. Furthermore, immunotherapy efficacy is increasingly being attributed to initiation of systemic immune responses within LNs. We argue that lymphadenectomy and nodal irradiation should be approached with caution, particularly in patients receiving immunotherapy.
