Biomarkers for immunotherapy resistance in non-small cell lung cancer.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Immunotherapy has revolutionised the treatment landscape of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), significantly improving survival outcomes and offering renewed hope to patients with advanced disease. However, the majority of patients experience limited long-term benefits from immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) due to the development of primary or acquired immunotherapy resistance. Accurate predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy resistance are essential for individualising treatment strategies, improving survival outcomes, and minimising potential treatment-related harm. This review discusses the mechanisms underlying resistance to immunotherapy, addressing both cancer cell-intrinsic and cancer cell-extrinsic resistance processes. We summarise the current utility and limitations of two clinically established biomarkers: programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and tumour mutational burden (TMB). Following this, we present a comprehensive review of emerging immunotherapy biomarkers in NSCLC, including tumour neoantigens, epigenetic signatures, markers of the tumour microenvironment (TME), genomic alterations, host-microbiome composition, and circulating biomarkers. The potential clinical applications of these biomarkers, along with novel approaches to their biomarker identification and targeting, are discussed. Additionally, we explore current strategies to overcome immunotherapy resistance and propose incorporating predictive biomarkers into an adaptive clinical trial design, where specific immune signatures guide subsequent treatment selection.
