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

The concept of augmenting the immune system to eradicate cancer dates back at least a century. A major resurgence in cancer immunotherapy has occurred over the past decade since the identification and targeting of negative regulators with antibody therapies to augment the anti-tumor immune response. Unprecedented responses across a broad array of cancer types elevated this class of therapies to the forefront of cancer treatment. The most successful drugs to date target the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) pathways. The immune biology of these pathways was illuminated through thoughtful pre-clinical experiments over the past 20 years. The characterization of these negative immune regulators, also known as immune checkpoints, subsequently led to the successful clinical development four drugs in six different cancer types to date, and progress continues. Despite these successes, significant challenges remain including the development of predictive biomarkers, recognition and management of immune related toxicities, and elucidating and reversing mechanisms of primary and secondary resistance. Ongoing work is expected to build upon recent accomplishments and allow more patients to benefit from this class of therapies.
