English term or phrase: enrich
Should the “enrich” in this sentence be corrected to "be enriched"?

"PDL1 status was evaluated in all three trials and was consistently shown to enrich for patients who have a higher likelihood of benefit".
(http://ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.1200/JCO.2017.73.6215)

I believe an expression "shown to enrich" in the above sentence is grammatically incorrect because "enrich" is a transitive verb, not intransitive. Is it correct?

濃縮する
Explanation:
I agree that it reads strangely and sounds a bit off but as it's talking about the status of protein enrichment (タンパク質の濃縮), it's not incorrect.

I did not know that "enrich" can be used as a intransitive word when describing the status of protein enrichment. It was very helpful to me. Thanks a lot.
