Germinal Immunogenetics predict treatment outcome for PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors.

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.
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
Background Checkpoint inhibitors bring marked benefits but only in a minority of patients and may also be associated with severe adverse events. Treatment outcome still cannot be faithfully predicted. The following study hypothesized that host genetics could be applied as predictive biomarkers for checkpoint inhibitor response and immune-related adverse events. We conducted a study based on germinal polymorphisms from genes coding for proteins involved in immune regulation. Methods Germinal DNA was obtained from advanced cancer patients treated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors. DNA was genotyped using a custom panel of 166 single nucleotide polymorphisms covering 86 preselected immunogenetic-related genes. Computational analysis using a GTEX portal was made to determine potential expression Quantitative Trait Loci in tissues. Results Ninety-four consecutive patients were included. Objective response rate (complete or partial response) was significantly correlated to tumor microenvironment-related SNPs concerning CCL2, NOS3, IL1RN, IL12B, CXCR3 and IL6R genes. Toxicity were linked to target-related gene SNPs including UNG, IFNW1, CTLA4, PD-L1 and IFNL4 genes. The Area Under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.81 (95% CI: 0.72-0.9) for response and 0.89 (95% CI: 0.76-1.00) for toxicity. In silico functionality exploring pointed rs4845618 (IL6R), rs10964859 (IFNW1) and rs3087243 (CTLA4) as potentially impacting gene expression. Conclusion These results strongly support a role for distinct immunogenetic-related gene SNPs able to predict efficacy and safety of anti-PD1/PD-L1 therapies. The results highlight the existence of patient-specific, germinal biomarkers able predict response to checkpoint inhibitor efficacy and, possibly, to predict treatment-related adverse events.
