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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) exhibits profound immune dysregulation, driven in part by the opposing roles of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and T helper 17 (Th17) cells. Tregs facilitate tumor progression through immune suppression, angiogenesis, and checkpoint engagement, while Th17 cells display dual effects depending on the tumor microenvironment, either promoting anti-tumor responses or enhancing malignancy. Importantly, plasticity between these subsets, orchestrated by cytokines such as TGF-β, IL-6, and IL-1β, allows dynamic interconversion that shapes immune outcomes. This review comprehensively summarizes the differentiation, molecular mechanisms, and functions of Tregs and Th17 cells in NSCLC. We highlight recent advances in targeting the Th17/Treg axis
