Expression and Clinical Correlation of PD-1/PD-L1 and VE1(BRAFp.V600E) in Pediatric Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis.

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
Background And Objectives: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an inflammatory myeloid neoplasm with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. Programmed Cell Death-1 (PD-1) receptor and its ligand (PD-L1) are overexpressed in LCH, but their clinical significance is unknown. We performed a clinical correlation study of PD-1/PD-L1 and VE1(BRAFp.V600E) expression in 131 children with LCH. Methods: A total of 111 samples were tested for PD-1/PD-L1 and 109 for VE1(BRAFp.V600E) mutant protein by immunohistochemistry. Results: PD-1, PD-L1 and VE1(BRAFp.V600E) positivity was observed in 40.5%, 31.53% and 55%, respectively. PD-1/ PD-L1 expression showed no significant effect on the rate of disease reactivations, early response to therapy or late sequelae. The 5-year EFS was not statistically different between patients with PD-1 positive compared to those with PD-1 negative tumours (47.7% vs.58.8%, p=0.17). Similar 5-year EFS rates were also seen in those who were PD-L1 positive compared to PD-L1 negative cases (50.5% vs.55.5%, p=0.61). VE1(BRAFp.V600E) positivity was associated with a significantly higher frequency of risk-organ involvement (p=0.0053), but no significant effect on early response to therapy or rates of reactivations or late sequelae. Conclusions: Our study showed no significant correlation between VE1(BRAFp.V600E) expression, PD-1 and PD-L1 and clinical outcome in pediatric LCH.
