Transcriptomic signatures in peripheral CD4
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and purpose: Promoting adaptive immunity with ICIs has drastically improved melanoma prognosis, but not for all patients. Some cases relapse in the first few months, while others keep durable benefit, even after immunotherapy discontinuation. To identify cellular/molecular signatures in peripheral blood that could differentiate advanced from metastatic melanoma and predict dynamics for primary/secondary immune escape, we examined 100 consecutive patients with stage III/IV melanoma scheduled to start ICIs. Materials and methods: At melanoma diagnosis, a multiparameter flow cytometric analysis and purification scheme using standard conjugated antibodies were performed for all individuals prior to ICI initiation. In each stage(III/IV) according to their RFS/PFS, we retrospectively selected the cases with the clearest clinical outcomes and focused our analysis on the extreme responders(n=7) and non-responders(n=7) to characterize the transcriptomes of circulating CD4 Results: Although circulating immune-cells did not numerically differ in both sets of analysis(staging and ICI responsiveness), DEA and GO data showed that patients could be clustered separately, identifying 189vs.92 DEGs in stage IV/III and 101vs.47 DEGs in early progressors/long responders. These DEGs were functionally implicated in distinct pathways. For metastatic cases: inflammatory response(logp-value=-9.2:ADGRE5/2,CYBA,GRN,HMOX1,IRF5,ITGAM), adaptive immunity(logp-value=-7.7:CD1C,CD74,CYBB,NCF2,CTSA,S100A8/9,BCL3,FCER1G), T-cell activation(logp-value=-6.3:BCL3,CD1C,CD74,FCER1G,FGL2)and lipid metabolism/catabolism(logp-value=-2.5/-2.6:ARF3,GPX1,MVD,OCRL,PCCB,CTSA,PNPLA2,NAGLU,GBA2,ABHD4); while in early-progressors to ICIs: immune effector processing(logp-value=-13.7:BCL6,FGR,HLA-DQA1/DQB1,HLA-DRA,HLA-DRB1/DRB5,NKG7,SLC11A1,TYROBP,SPON2,HAVCR2),PD-1(logp-value=-10.2:HLA-DQA1/DQB1,HLA-DRA,HLA-DRB1/DRB5)and IFN signaling(logp-value=-8.5: HLA-DQA1/DQB1,HLA-DRA,HLA-DRB1/DRB5,NCAM1,IFITM3),positive regulation of T-cell activation(logp-value=-7.7:BCL6,HLA-DQA1/DQB1,HLA-DRA,HLA-DRB1/DRB5,SASH3,HAVCR2)and CD28 co-stimulation(logp-value=-10.3:HLA-DQA1/DQB1,HLA-DRA,HLA-DRB1/DRB5), supporting an immune-mediated behavior. Conclusions: Specific pathways and marker genes in the peripheral CD4
