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

backgroundImmune profiling has become an important tool for identifying predictive, prognostic and response biomarkers for immune checkpoint inhibitors from tumor microenvironment (TME). We aimed to build a multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) panel to apply to formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues in mice tumors and to explore the programmed cell death protein 1/ programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) axis.

resultsAn automated eight-color mIF panel was evaluated to study the TME using seven antibodies, including cytokeratin 19, CD3e, CD8a, CD4, PD-1, PD-L1, F4-80 and DAPI, then was applied in six mice lung adenocarcinoma samples. Cell phenotypes were quantified by software to explore the co-localization and spatial distribution between immune cells within the TME. This mice panel was successfully optimized and applied to a small cohort of mice lung adenocarcinoma cases. Image analysis showed a sparse degree of immune cell expression pattern in this cohort. From the spatial analysis we found that T cells and macrophages expressing PD-L1 were close to the malignant cells and other immune cells.

conclusionsComprehensive immune profiling using mIF in translational studies improves our ability to correlate the PD-1/PD-L1 axis and spatial distribution of lymphocytes and macrophages in mouse lung cancer cells to provide new cues for immunotherapy, that can be translated to human tumors for cancer intervention.
