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 inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment of patients with advanced cancers. However, the majority of patients do not respond or develop early progressive disease. A substantial number also develop immune-mediated toxicities that may lead to early treatment discontinuation. Gastrointestinal toxicities in the form of diarrhea and colitis are common and may resemble that observed in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Alterations in the gut microbiota are thought to play an important role in mediating the intestinal inflammation that is associated with immune-mediated colitis. In this review, the authors' objective is to provide an overview of the gastrointestinal and hepatic toxicities that can be seen with ICIs and discuss the interactions between gut microbiota and the immune response. The authors also highlight the potential role for fecal microbial transfer (FMT) as an approach to improve therapeutic efficacy and decrease toxicity.
