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

Aneuploidy, a hallmark of cancer characterized by chromosome imbalances, drives tumorigenesis and facilitates cancer immune evasion. While high tumor aneuploidy is linked to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) resistance and poor prognosis, evidence suggests that this resistance can be overcome through treatment intensification, for example, with the addition of ablative radiotherapy to ICB. In this Perspective, we argue that the predictive value of aneuploidy complements established biomarkers, such as tumor mutational burden (TMB) or programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. We review contemporary methods for quantifying aneuploidy, explore novel approaches that target mitotic vulnerabilities in aneuploid tumors and highlight potential areas where aneuploidy-based stratification could be incorporated into ICB-based treatment paradigms across early-stage, locally advanced and metastatic cancers. Prospective trials incorporating aneuploidy-based stratification will be essential to validate its role in personalized cancer therapy.
