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

Neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy has shown promising results, with major pathologic response (MPR, ≤10% residual viable tumors [RVT]) as the primary outcome. However, %RVT showed limited predictive power in stratifying outcomes within the MPR and non-MPR groups. To identify a better prognostic marker, this study analyzed 200 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) samples after neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade combined with chemotherapy across three medical centers. Among these patients, 99 had necrotic regions in their residual lesions. We found that tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in necrotic areas (nTILs) lose their cellular structure, but retained T-cell-specific antigens, making them detectable by immunohistochemistry. Regardless of PD-L1 status or lymph node metastasis, patients with high CD8
