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

Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRMs) reside in peripheral tissues and provide rapid immune defence against local infection and tumours. Tumour-associated TRMs share common tissue-resident features and formation mechanisms, representing some unique subsets of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). However, differences in the tumour microenvironment(TME) and tumour evolution stage result in TRMs exhibiting temporal and spatial heterogeneity of phenotype and function not only at different stages, before and after treatment, but also between tumours originating from different tissues, primary and metastatic cancer, and tumour and adjacent normal tissue. The infiltration of TRMs is often associated with immunotherapy response and favourable prognosis; however, due to different definitions, it has been shown that some subtypes of TRMs can also have a negative impact. Therefore, it is crucial to precisely characterise the TRM subpopulations that can influence the therapeutic efficacy and clinical prognosis of various solid tumours. Here, we review the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of tumour-associated TRMs, as well as the differences in their impact on clinical outcomes. We also explore the relationship between TRMs and immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and TIL therapy, providing insights into potential new targets and strategies for immunotherapy.
