[Influence of immunomodulators on urological imaging].
Review in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have led to great advances in the therapy of metastatic renal cell and urothelial carcinoma. Currently ICI are approved for the first-line therapy of cisplatin-unfit patients (Atezolizumab, Pembrolizumab) and second-line therapy in patients with metastasized urothelial cancer (Atezolizumab, Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab). For the therapy of metastasized RCC, Nivolumab is approved as a second-line therapy and in combination with the CTLA‑4 antibody Ipilimumab as a first-line therapy.
objectivesWhat does the optimized radiological follow-up and therapy response assessment for ICI, which differ in their pathways from common chemotherapeutics and anti-angiogenetic drugs, look like? What strategies are needed to meet the upcoming challenges concerning interpretation of the acquired images?
methodsA systematic literature search was carried out for urothelial and renal cell carcinoma.
resultsImmune-related response criteria have been introduced to better characterize the imaging changes occurring under ICI, as monitoring response to immunotherapy still relies on RECIST.
conclusionsTo properly identify and predict response after treatment with ICI, additional studies with long-term follow-ups are needed. Because of the growing use of ICI, radiologists and urologist should be familiar with common imaging findings (such as pseudo progress) under immunotherapy to correctly interpret these findings in daily routine.
