Prognostic value of soluble programmed cell death ligand-1 (sPD-L1) in lymphoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Annals of hematology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Previous studies on the prognostic value of soluble programmed cell death ligand 1 (sPD-L1) in lymphoma patients have yielded inconsistent results. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis and systematic review to investigate the prognostic significance of sPD-L1 in lymphoma, especially in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and NK/T-cell lymphoma (NK/TCL). A total of 11 studies with 1185 patients were included in the meta-analysis, and the combined results indicated that high sPD-L1 levels were associated with worse overall survival (OS) (HR = 2.27, 95%CI: 1.70-3.04) and progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 2.68, 95%CI: 1.92-3.75). Furthermore, subgroup analysis showed that sPD-L1 remained a significant prognostic factor for OS. The meta-analysis indicated that sPD-L1 may be a potential prognostic biomarker for lymphoma, especially in DLBCL and NK/TCL, and high sPD-L1 levels were associated with worse survival prognosis.
