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

backgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies present a pillar of modern cancer therapy but can cause neurological immune-related adverse events (n-irAEs), of which up to 35% are severe or even fatal. However, the detailed immunological mechanisms and risk factors underlying n-irAEs remain largely unknown. Here, we leveraged single-cell genomics to dissect immune cell type, state, and clonal heterogeneity associated with n-irAEs.

methodsWe performed coupled single-cell RNA sequencing and T cell receptor (TCR) profiling on peripheral blood cells of 17 patients with cancer receiving ICI therapy, including 8 patients with acute neurotoxicity. This approach enabled integrated analyses of immune cell states and T cell clonality linked to ICI-induced n-irAEs.

resultsWe profiled 186 435 immune cells and conducted pseudotime analyses, revealing that patients with n-irAEs, compared with controls, present with clonally expanded CD4

conclusionsOverall, our study highlights the expansion and activation of CD4
