Chemokine Receptors in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells as Predictive Biomarkers for Immunotherapy Efficacy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

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.
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
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally. The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved outcomes for a subset of patients; however, predictive biomarkers to identify responders are still lacking. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) offer a minimally invasive means to assess systemic immune status and have emerged as a potential source of predictive biomarkers. Recent studies have highlighted the role of chemokines and their receptors in modulating immune responses against tumors. In particular, the expression levels of chemokine receptors such as CXCR4 on PBMCs have been associated with patient responses to ICIs. The differences in expression of these receptors correlates with enhanced T cell trafficking and infiltration into the tumor microenvironment, leading to improved antitumor activity. This review consolidates current evidence on the prognostic and predictive value of chemokine receptor expression in PBMCs, like T cells, for NSCLC patients treated with ICIs. Understanding these associations can aid in the development of non-invasive biomarkers to guide treatment decisions and improve patient stratification in immunotherapy.
