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

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) act as local hubs for antigen presentation and lymphocyte activation, reinforcing antitumor immunity. They act as ectopic, lymph node-like niches that orchestrate local antitumor immunity through well-defined B-cell follicles, T-cell zones, follicular dendritic cells (FDCs), and high endothelial venules (HEVs). Although various cancer treatment methods can impact TLSs, thereby changing the state of the TME, the dynamic changes in TLSs caused by treatment and the mechanisms therein have not been comprehensively summarized to date. This review highlights the mechanisms of different cancer treatment effects on TLSs dynamic change, including the number and functionality of TLSs within tumors. We also summarize the value of TLSs in predicting prognosis and therapeutic effect, as well as the deficiencies in current research and future development directions.
