Review in Seminars in nuclear medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 blockade has demonstrated the ability to modulate the immune system to produce durable responses in a wide range of cancers and has significantly impacted the standard of care. However, many cancer patients still do not respond to immune checkpoint blockade or have a limited duration of antitumor responses. Moreover, immune-related adverse events caused by immune checkpoint blockade can be severe and debilitating for some patients, limiting continuation of therapy and resulting in severe autoimmune conditions. Standard-of-care conventional anatomic imaging modalities and tumor response criteria have limitations to adequately assess tumor responses, especially early in the course of therapy, for risk-adapted clinical management to inform care of patients treated with immunotherapy. Molecular imaging with position emission tomography (PET) provides a noninvasive functional biomarker of tumor response, and of immune activation, for patients on immune-based therapies to help address these needs.
