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: Immunotherapies targeting the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) have shown great promise for a subset of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, safe and robust combination therapies are still needed to bring the benefit to broader patient populations. Methods: we performed Results: There was no significant difference overall survival between anti-PD-L1 therapy and IgG in LLC-bearing mice, and BTLA expression was increased on CD8 Conclusion: Our results show that BTLA and PD-1 cooperatively inhibit the activity of CD8
