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

Analysis of tissue biopsy samples is the gold-standard approach to cancer diagnosis and patient selection for biomarker-guided therapies. Although spatial analyses of tumour tissue can provide important insights into local antitumour immune responses, repeated tumour biopsy is invasive and rarely feasible for monitoring dynamic immune responses over time. Technical advances have enabled multimodal analyses of cells and cellular products in peripheral blood samples, which can be obtained easily and repeatedly over the course of the disease. These liquid biopsy-based approaches cannot provide spatial information on the tumour immune microenvironment and tumour-derived material can be highly diluted in the circulation, yet they offer a unique opportunity to monitor systemic immune dynamics, anticipate responses to immunotherapies and detect emerging resistance to treatment. Thus, blood-based analyses might complement tumour tissue analysis. In this Review, we discuss insights on systemic antitumour immune responses that can be gained through the analysis of tumour-derived biomarkers in peripheral blood and/or circulating immune cells.
