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

Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, yet its efficacy is limited to a specific patient subset. This underscores the critical clinical demand for accessible assays capable of assessing immunotherapy outcomes and enabling timely adjustments to personalized medical care. Here, we present a multiplexed assay based on dual-target responsive DNA hydrogels for the simultaneous detection of soluble programmed death-ligand 1 and lactate dehydrogenase in lung cancer patients. The DNA hydrogel, constructed through a self-assembly strategy, achieves superior performance by reducing background noise by 33.8% and improving the signal-to-noise ratio by 61.5%. By integrating rolling circle amplification, the assay enables ultrasensitive detection at femtomolar levels. When further combining additional clinical biomarkers, the assay demonstrates strong predictive ability for immunotherapy response, achieving an area under the curve value of 0.935 in clinical cohort. Collectively, this blood-based assay offers a versatile and effective approach for advancing biomarker-based evaluations of immunotherapy outcomes.
