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

Background: Lung cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), remains a major global challenge. Neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy (IO-CT) has shown potential in improving survival outcomes for resectable NSCLC. This study aimed to investigate changes in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) following IO-CT or chemotherapy alone and identify immune biomarkers predictive of treatment response. Methods: Pre- and post-treatment tumor samples from NSCLC patients receiving either IO-CT or chemotherapy alone were analyzed. Multiplex immunofluorescence was performed to assess immune cell populations, including CD3 Results: IO-CT preserved and enhanced immune cell populations, particularly CD3 Conclusions: This study highlights the role of TIME reprogramming and TLS formation in the efficacy of neoadjuvant IO-CT for NSCLC. Baseline immune activation, marked by CD20
