PDPN+ cancer-associated fibroblasts correlate with the neoadjuvant immunotherapy response in gastric cancer.
Article in APL bioengineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04208347 (Perioperative Treatment of Combined SOX With Apatinib and Camrelizumab for Resectable Locally Advanced Gastric or Esophagogastric Junction Adenocarcinoma), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
The achievement of pathological complete response (pCR) with neoadjuvant therapy can significantly improve prognosis in patients with gastric cancer (GC). GC tissues demonstrating pCR after immunotherapy exhibited increased stiffness and proliferation of fibroblasts within the stroma. Specific subpopulation cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) may serve as potential markers for predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy. We screened CAFs-related genes as candidate predictors for immunotherapy using the TCGA-STAD, PRJEB25780, GSE27342, and GSE54129 databases. Tissue specimen from GC patients enrolled in the clinical trial (NCT04208347) was used to evaluate its clinical significance. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data were obtained from GSE163558, GSE183904, and GSE184198 datasets and analyzed through Seurat v3 R software and iTALK. GC patient-derived organoids (GC-PDOs) modeling verified the effect of CAFs subpopulations on immunotherapeutic response
