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

objectivesThis review describes the current status and progress of immune checkpoint targets for imaging of malignancies. Immune checkpoint blockade holds great potential for cancer treatment, and clinical implementation into routine is very rapidly progressing. Therefore, it is an urgent need to become familiar with the vocabulary of immunotherapy and with the evaluation of immune checkpoint and related treatments through noninvasive molecular imaging. Currently, immune target-associated imaging mainly includes PET, SPECT, optical imaging, and MRI. Each imaging method has its own inherent strengths and weaknesses in reflecting tumor morphology and physiology. PD-1, PD-L1, CTLA-4, and LAG-3 are the most commonly considered targets. In this review, the current status and progress of molecular imaging of immune checkpoint targets are discussed.

conclusionMolecular imaging is likely to become a major tool for monitoring immunotherapy. It can help in selecting patients who are suitable for immunotherapy, and also monitor the tumor response. KEY POINTS: • Immune checkpoint blockade holds great promise for the treatment of different malignant tumors. • Molecular imaging can identify the expression of immune checkpoint targets in the tumor microenvironment at the molecular and cellular levels, and therefore helps selecting potential responders, suitable for specific immunotherapy. • Molecular imaging can also monitor immunotherapeutic effects, and therefore participates in the evaluation of tumor response to treatment.
