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

With the escalating application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in solid tumors, these therapies have demonstrated clinical benefits but remain hampered by relatively low response rates. Reliable biomarkers to predict ICIs responsiveness are essential for selecting appropriate patients and optimizing therapeutic outcomes. Given the pivotal role of tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) in orchestrating systemic antitumor immunity, their intrinsic features-such as dynamic organization in T cell subsets and functional status of antigen-presenting cells, hold considerable potential as predictive biomarkers for ICIs. Moreover, the complexity of ICIs-induced responses in TDLNs necessitates integrating multiple biomarkers for accurate prediction. Through continuous refinement of predictive strategies, TDLNs are poised to play an indispensable role in enhancing ICIs efficacy and guiding personalized immunotherapy. Here, we provide a review to discuss the possibility of using the intrinsic features of TDLNs as a predictive marker for ICI therapy.
