Spatial architecture contributes to failure of bulk biomarker-guided neoadjuvant immunotherapy selection in bladder cancer: The DUTRENEO study.

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
Predictive biomarkers for immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are largely identified retrospectively, but their prospective clinical utility remains unproven. Here, we report DUTRENEO, a prospective randomized phase 2 trial testing whether a retrospectively validated 18-gene bulk tumor inflammation signature (TIS) can guide neoadjuvant ICI therapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The trial does not meet its primary endpoint, and this demonstrates that bulk gene-expression stratification does not sufficiently enrich for responders. To define the biology underlying this failure, we generate single-cell spatial transcriptomic profiles of 377 genes in ∼5.4 million cells across large tissue areas. Response is governed by spatial architectures invisible to bulk assays, including CD8
