A prospective multi-cohort study identifies and validates a 5-gene peripheral blood signature predictive of immunotherapy response in non-small cell lung cancer.
Article in Molecular cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
backgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment landscape for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The variability in patient responses necessitates a blood-based, multi-cohort gene signature to predict ICI response in NSCLC.
methodsWe performed transcriptomic profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and buffy coat (BC) samples from three independent cohorts of NSCLC patients treated with ICIs: a retrospective cohort (PMBCR, n = 59), a retrospective validation cohort (BC, n = 44), and a prospective validation cohort (PBMCP, n = 42). We identified a 5-gene signature (UQCRB, NDUFA3, CDKN2D, FMNL1-DT, and APOL3) predictive of ICI response and validated its clinical utility in the prospective PBMCP cohort. Response was evaluated using RECIST criteria, and patients were followed up for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
resultsIn the prospective PBMCP cohort, the 5-gene signature demonstrated high accuracy in stratifying patients into responders and non-responders (AUC = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.80-0.99). Predicted responders exhibited significantly longer PFS compared to predicted non-responders (median: 13.8 months vs. 4.2 months, HR = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.07-0.58, p = 0.005).
conclusionOur study confirms a 5-gene signature as a key biomarker for ICI response in NSCLC, enhancing treatment precision.
