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

backgroundDespite the impressive outcomes with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), only a minority of the patients show long-term benefits from ICI. In this study, we used retrospective cohorts of ICI treated patients with NSCLC to discover and validate spatially resolved protein markers associated with resistance to programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) axis inhibition.

methodsPretreatment samples from 56 patients with NSCLC treated with ICI were collected and analyzed in a tissue microarray (TMA) format in including four different tumor regions per patient using the GeoMx platform for spatially informed transcriptomics. 34 patients had assessable tissue with tumor compartment in all 4 TMA spots, 22 with leukocyte compartment and 12 with CD68 compartment. The patients' tissue that was not assessable in fourfold redundancy in each compartment was designated as the validation cohort; cytokeratin (CK) (N=22), leukocytes CD45 (N=31), macrophages, CD68 (N=43). The human whole transcriptome, represented by~18,000 individual genes assessed by oligonucleotide-tagged in situ hybridization, was sequenced on the NovaSeq platform to quantify the RNAs present in each region of interest.

results54,000 gene variables were generated per case, from them 25,740 were analyzed after removing targets with expression lower than a prespecified frequency. Cox proportional-hazards model analysis was performed for overall and progression-free survival (OS, PFS, respectively). After identifying genes significantly associated with limited survival benefit (HR>1)/progression per spot per patient, we used the intersection of them across the four TMA spots per patient. This resulted in a list of 12 genes in the tumor-cell compartment (
