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.

Abstract

backgroundThis study evaluated biomarker profiles associated with therapeutic response and prognosis in resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving neoadjuvant camrelizumab plus chemotherapy.

methodsIn this single-arm phase II trial, patients with resectable stage IIIA-IIIB NSCLC received three cycles of camrelizumab plus chemotherapy, followed by surgery. Primary endpoints were pathological complete response (pCR). Secondary endpoints included major pathological response (MPR), disease-free survival (DFS), and safety. Exploratory analyses assessed immune subsets in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and peripheral blood, cytokine profiles, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) dynamics, and spatial immune-tumor interactions.

resultsThirty patients were enrolled (22 squamous, 8 adenocarcinoma); 27 underwent radical resection. The pCR and MPR rates were 33.3% and 50.0%, respectively. At a median follow-up of 27.2 months, the 2-year DFS rate was 77.4%. Grade≥3 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 13.3%. Achieving pCR was associated with higher baseline levels of CD8+ T cells and naïve-like T cells in both blood and TME. Elevated baseline CD8+ naïve-like T cells in both peripheral blood and tumor nests and their closer proximity to tumor cells correlated with improved DFS. Higher circulating baseline chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 3 (CCL3) levels were associated with both pCR and prolonged DFS. Postneoadjuvant treatment ctDNA positivity predicted shorter DFS, while longitudinal ctDNA monitoring identified relapse as early as 17.6 months before radiographic progression.

conclusionsBaseline CD8+ naïve-like T-cell abundance and spatial proximity to tumor cells, circulating CCL3 levels, and ctDNA dynamics may serve as potential prognostic biomarkers in resectable NSCLC receiving neoadjuvant camrelizumab plus chemotherapy. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT06241807.
