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

Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) contribute to immune checkpoint blockade resistance, but their impact on intratumoural CD8⁺ T cell distribution remains unclear. Here we show that the expression of the glucose transporter SLC2A1 is spatially negatively correlated with CD8⁺ T cell distribution in both non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) biopsies and murine tumour models. Tumour cell-specific Slc2a1 knockdown fails to reproduce the therapeutic benefit of SLC2A1 inhibition, whereas TAM-specific deletion of Slc2a1 suppresses tumour growth by enhancing the spatial homogeneity and effector function of intratumoural CD8⁺ T cells, thereby improving αPD-L1 efficacy. Spatial profiling of NSCLC specimens further revealed that SLC2A1⁺ TAM-enriched regions exhibit reduced CD8⁺ T cell density, and spatial proximity between these populations predicts resistance to αPD-(L)1 therapy. These findings identify SLC2A1⁺ TAMs as drivers of spatial CD8⁺ T cell exclusion and highlight TAM-specific SLC2A1 as a therapeutic target to overcome immune checkpoint blockade resistance in NSCLC.
