CD3, CD8, IFN-γ, tumor and stroma inflammatory cells as prognostic indicators for surgically resected SCLC: evidences from a 10-year retrospective study and immunohistochemical analysis.

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
Current clinical guidelines limit surgical intervention to patients with cT1-2N0M0 small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Our objective was to reassess the role of surgery in SCLC management, and explore novel prognostic indicators for surgically resected SCLC. We reviewed all patients diagnosed with SCLC from January 2011 to April 2021 in our institution. Survival analysis was conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and independent prognostic factors were assessed through the Cox proportional hazard model. In addition, immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was performed to evaluate the predictive value of selected indicators in the prognosis of surgically resected SCLC patients. In the study, 177 SCLC patients undergoing surgical resection were ultimately included. Both univariate and multivariate Cox analysis revealed that incomplete postoperative adjuvant therapy emerged as an independent risk factor for adverse prognosis (p < 0.001, HR 2.96). Survival analysis revealed significantly superior survival among pN0-1 patients compared to pN2 patients (p < 0.0001). No significant difference in postoperative survival was observed between pN1 and pN0 patients (p = 0.062). Patients with postoperative stable disease (SD) exhibited lower levels of tumor inflammatory cells (TIC) (p = 0.0047) and IFN-γ expression in both area and intensity (p < 0.0001 and 0.0091, respectively) compared to those with postoperative progressive disease (PD). Conversely, patients with postoperative SD showed elevated levels of stromal inflammatory cells (SIC) (p = 0.0453) and increased counts of CD3
