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

Clonal mutations represent the initiating molecular defects related to cellular transition of a normal phenotype to a malignant phenotype. Molecular genomic assessment utilizing next generation and whole exome sequencing is now being increasingly applied to biomarker determination to refine the use of targeted immune therapies. Case examples followed by retrospective study assessment have convincingly demonstrated clonal neoantigens provide a relevant predictor of response to checkpoint inhibition. A meta-analysis, by Litchfield et al., of over 1000 cancer patients from 12 landmark trials demonstrated no clinical benefit to checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy in correlation to high subclonal tumor mutational burden (TMB), whereas high clonal TMB was found to be significantly correlated with better overall survival (
