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
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between complete pathological remission (PCR), tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) maturation and expression and clinical outcomes of patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy. Totally 80 patients with resectable NSCLC (stage IB-IIIB) receiving neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy were analyzed. We used the Kaplan-Meier method to plot survival curves and the log-rank test to compare differences. Among all patients included, 45 patients (56.25%) achieved major pathological response (MPR), including 30 patients (37.50%) with PCR. The proportion of patients diagnosed with stage IB, II, IIIA and IIIB was 1.25%, 10.00%, 52.50% and 36.25%, respectively. We divided patients into PCR group and non-PCR group respectively according to whether they achieved PCR. We found that patients achieving PCR had significantly improved disease-free survival (DFS) (mDFS: NR vs. 20.24 months,
