Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes as a prognostic and predictive factor for Melanoma.
Review in Expert review of molecular diagnostics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
introductionTumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have been investigated as prognostic factors in melanoma. Recent advancements in assessing the tumor microenvironment in the setting of more widespread use of immune checkpoint blockade have reignited interest in identifying predictive biomarkers. This review examines the function and significance of TILs in cutaneous melanoma, evaluating their potential as prognostic and predictive markers. AREAS COVERED: A literature search was conducted on papers covering tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in cutaneous melanoma available online in PubMed and Web of Science from inception to 1 December 2023, supplemented by citation searching. This article encompasses the assessment of TILs, the role of TILs in the immune microenvironment, TILs as a prognostic factor, TILs as a predictive factor for immunotherapy response, and clinical applications of TILs in the treatment of cutaneous melanoma. EXPERT OPINION: Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes play a heterogeneous role in cutaneous melanoma. While they have historically been associated with improved survival, their status as independent prognostic or predictive factors remains uncertain. Novel methods of TIL assessment, such as determination of TIL subtypes and molecular signaling, demonstrate potential for predicting therapeutic response. Further, while their clinical utility in risk-stratification in melanoma treatment shows promise, a lack of consensus data hinders standardized application.
