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

backgroundGastrointestinal malignancies have both a high incidence rate and a high mortality rate. Immuno-oncological treatment approaches are becoming increasingly established in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancers. SUMMARY: In this review, we give an overview of the types and effects of immunotherapies. We focus on recent studies on immunotherapies with special attention to immune checkpoint inhibition in carcinomas of the esophagus and stomach, the hepato-pancreatico-biliary system, and the colorectum including the anal channel in the metastatic setting, and we show their achievements but also their limitations. In an outlook, we discuss new approaches in immunotherapy like CAR T-cell therapy and oncolytic viruses. KEY MESSAGES: Gastrointestinal cancers show overall moderate response rates to immunotherapy. Nevertheless, subgroups such as DNA mismatch repair-deficient or microsatellite-instable tumors particularly benefit from the immune checkpoint blockade. Further studies are ongoing.
