Synergistic induction of tertiary lymphoid structures by chemoimmunotherapy in bladder cancer.

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
backgroundA substantial number of patients with bladder cancer fail to benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We aim to investigate whether the addition of other therapeutic modalities into immunotherapy may augment the immune reactivity, thereby improving the overall response rate.
methodsWe conducted a comprehensive assessment of the immunological changes following immunotherapy and chemotherapy, employing both single-cell RNA sequencing and bulk RNA sequencing analyses.
resultsThe bladder cancer patient treated with ICIs exhibited a higher abundance of B cells and T follicular helper cells compared to the treatment-naïve patient. Analysis of public datasets and the in-house RJBLC-I2N003 cohort revealed the induction of tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) neogenesis and maturation by immunotherapy. The IMvigor 210 study suggested that TLS could serve as a predictor of immunotherapy response and patient prognosis. In addition, genome-wide transcriptome data unveiled a shift towards the immune-enriched subtype over the desert subtype in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Notably, the proportions of CD20 + B cells, T follicular helper cells, and TLSs were significantly increased. In patients treated with a combination of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and ICIs, TLS positivity and maturity were improved compared to the baseline. Furthermore, neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy resulted in a higher rate of pathological complete response compared to monotherapies.
conclusionsThis work pinpointed the individual effect of immunotherapy and chemotherapy in fostering TLS development, and underscored the superior effectiveness of combined modalities in enhancing TLS maturation and response rates.
