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

backgroundCombinatory therapeutic strategy containing immunochemotherapy as part of induction therapy components is one of the current trends in the treatment of high-risk metastatic locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, the mechanism underlying the heterogeneity of response at the single-cell level has not been underexplored.

methods18 bulks and 11 single-cell RNA sequencing from paired before-treatment and on-treatment samples in patients with treatment-naive high-risk metastatic locally advanced NPCs were obtained. Following quality control, a total of 87 191 cells were included in the subsequence bioinformatics analysis.

resultsImmunochemotherapy was associated with on-treatment tumour microenvironment (TME) remodelling, including upregulation of anti-TMEs signatures, downregulation of pro-TMEs signatures, reversing CD8

conclusionsThis study pictures a map of TME modulation following immunochemotherapy-based combination induction therapy and provides potential future approaches. HIGHLIGHTS: Immunochemotherapy remodeled T cell phenotypes. For the patients achieving complete response, more interferon gamma was provided by CD8
