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

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) catalyze the first rate-limiting step in the oxidative metabolism of compounds containing indole rings, including the transformation of the essential amino acid L-tryptophan to N-formyl-L-kynurenine. Through direct and indirect means, IDO exerts both tolerogenic and pro-inflammatory effects and has a profound immunoregulatory role in the tumor microenvironment. Although the role of IDO in mediating peripheral acquired immunologic tolerance has been known for some time, its role in tumorigenesis and the subversion of anti-tumor immunity have only recently been appreciated. Small-molecule inhibitors of IDO1 and TDO are being evaluated as single agents and in combination with immune checkpoint blockade in a host of advanced cancers. In this review, we delineate the tolerogenic and pro-inflammatory effects of IDO as it relates to immune escape and discuss current clinical progress in this area.
