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

Objective: We analyzed changes in intratumoral CD8 Methods: Paired pre- and post-treatment samples from 32 patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy at Shandong Cancer Hospital (January 2021-June 2023) were analyzed retrospectively. A quantitative analysis of tumor cells and their microenvironment was performed using a tissue microarray and a multiplex immunofluorescence technique. The analysis was based on the number of cells per thousand nucleated cells. Patients exhibiting a major pathologic response were classified as responders. The delta parameter (post-treatment minus pre-treatment) was utilized to assess changes in these indicators, and associations with treatment response were identified using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test and logistic regression analyses. Results: Of the 32 patients, 59.38% were classified as responders. Across all patients, neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy significantly reduced the densities of dysfunctional CD8 Conclusion: Alterations in specific CD8
