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

purposeTo investigate the ability of

methodsA comprehensive search of the literature for studies examining the prognostic value of

resultsTwenty four eligible articles were included in the systematic review. Based on the baseline

conclusionsThe baseline SUVpeak, MTV, and TLG parameters represent promising predictors of the final response of metastatic melanoma patients to immunotherapy. Modified response assessment criteria are potentially an appropriate method for monitoring immunotherapy. irAEs are also valuable for predicting eventual clinical benefit of treatment.
