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

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) represents a promising approach in cancer therapy. Owing to the peculiar biologic mechanisms of anticancer activity, checkpoint blockers are accompanied with distinctive response patterns and toxicity profiles. Medical imaging is the cornerstone for response assessment to immunotherapy and plays a critical role in monitoring of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Imaging-based biomarkers have shown tremendous potential for the prediction of therapeutic efficacies and clinical outcomes in patients treated with checkpoint inhibitors. In this article, the landscape of current response assessment systems for immunotherapy was reviewed with a special focus on the latest advances in the assessment of responses to ICB. Emerging imaging biomarkers were discussed along with the challenges regarding their clinical transformation. In addition, the biological mechanisms and clinical applications of ICB and irAEs were also within the scope of this review.
