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

Background: Neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy improves non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) outcomes, but remission rates vary, emphasizing the need for biomarkers. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the baseline intratumoral CD4 Methods: Tumor samples from 49 NSCLC patients before neoadjuvant immunotherapy were retrospectively collected and subjected to multiplex immunohistochemistry staining (panel 1: DAPI/CK/CD4/CD8/CD68; Panel 2: DAPI/CK/CD4/HIF-1α/CD31/α-SMA) to characterize CD4 Results: In 49 NSCLC patients, responders (54.2%) and non-responders (45.8%). Single-indicator analysis revealed a positive correlation between high infiltration of CD8 Conclusions: The baseline intratumoral CD4
