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

purposeSKYROCKET is a single-center, single-arm phase II study that evaluated whether the addition of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to atezolizumab plus tiragolumab enhances antitumor efficacy in PD-L1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND

methodsPatients received SBRT to all metastatic sites and subsequently received atezolizumab and tiragolumab every 3 weeks on day 1 of each 21-day cycle with 7 days of completion of SBRT. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) from the start of SBRT. Exploratory endpoints included single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) obtained from tumor biopsies at baseline (BL) and on-treatment (OT) and were further characterized as clinical benefit [CB; partial response or stable disease (SD) ≥ 6 months] and non-clinical benefit (NCB; progressive disease or SD < 6 months).

resultsForty-one patients were enrolled. At a median duration of follow-up of 9.8 months, median PFS at the start of SBRT was 9.3 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 6.0-NR]. No new safety signal was observed. scRNA-seq of paired BL and OT (n = 3) and single-time point (n = 2) revealed that CD8 progenitor-exhausted (TPEX) cells markedly expanded after treatment, with high T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM (TIGIT) and PD-1 expression in CD8 TPEX/TEX subsets. CD4 regulatory T cells (Treg) were reduced in the CB group but increased in the NCB group. The CB group showed reduced Treg suppression and NECTIN-TIGIT signaling, whereas NCB maintained proliferative CTLA4high/TIGIThigh Treg supported by ICAM/galectin-CTLA4 pathways.

conclusionsSBRT followed by atezolizumab plus tiragolumab showed encouraging clinical activity with manageable safety in PD-L1-positive metastatic NSCLC.
