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

backgroundNeoadjuvant immunotherapy using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has revolutionized the treatment of early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, little is known about which patients are likely to benefit most from neoadjuvant immunotherapy. In this study, we performed a multiplatform analysis on samples from resectable NSCLC treated with neoadjuvant immunotherapy to explore molecular characteristics related to immune responses. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 17 patients with resectable stage IB-IIIA NSCLC treated with neoadjuvant immunotherapy were included. A multiplex cytokine assay, bulk TCR sequencing in peripheral blood, and multiplexed immunohistochemistry were performed.

resultsLow levels of stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1alpha at baseline were associated with unfavorable disease-free survival (DFS). Patients with major pathologic response (MPR) showed a decrease in HGF after one cycle of neoadjuvant immunotherapy. An increase in IDO and IP-10 was observed in patients who developed immune-related adverse events (irAEs) after neoadjuvant immunotherapy. There were no correlations between irAEs and MPR or DFS. The MPR group presented a significant decrease in white blood cells and neutrophil count after neoadjuvant immunotherapy. The high peripheral baseline TCR convergence was correlated with MPR and favorable DFS in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) receiving neoadjuvant immunotherapy. Neoadjuvant immunotherapy led to a significant increase in CD4+, CD8+, and CD8+CD39+ T-cell infiltration in tumor areas.

conclusionsThis study suggests the potential roles of cytokines and TCR convergence for predicting ICIs response in resectable NSCLC and LUSC. CD8+CD39+T cells and CD4+ T cells could be involved in the action of neoadjuvant immunotherapy.
