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

The development of checkpoint inhibitors has redefined the treatment paradigm for advanced gastroesophageal cancer. While recent developments have improved clinical outcomes, the prognosis for the disease remains meager. In this review, we discuss the rationale and detail the results from recent phase I-III trials supporting the activity of PD-1 inhibitors. Specifically, we highlight the seminal clinical trials leading to the FDA approval of pembrolizumab for advanced gastroesophageal cancer. Finally, we review the current understanding and future considerations of molecular subtyping and predictive biomarkers to help guide therapy and the promise of combination therapy to further improve the efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors.
