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

Background and Aims: Understanding genetic alterations in lung cancer remains challenging due to tumor heterogeneity and malignancy. This study aimed to investigate somatic variations and immune-related biomarkers in Chinese patients with NSCLC. Methods: This retrospective study involved Chinese patients with NSCLC from October 2019 to December 2024. A total of 554 pathological specimens were analyzed using targeted NGS panels. Fisher's exact test (two-sided, 95% confidence interval) was applied to assess statistical significance. The functional impact of certain mutations was validated in lung cancer cell lines. Results: A total of 1302 genetic variations were identified. The most frequently altered genes included Conclusion: Our findings suggest that a high TMB combined with a heterozygous HLA-I genotype serves as an effective biomarker for predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy in Chinese patients with NSCLC.
