Oral mucositis. Is it present in the immunotherapy of the immune checkpoint pd1/pd-l1 against oral cancer? A systematic review.
Synthesis in Medicina oral, patologia oral y cirugia bucal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundOral mucositis (OM) is a painful lesion that takes place in the mucosa of the oral cavity, usually its etiology is associated with drug therapies in cancer patients. It is presented as well-defined ulcers whose painful symptomatology sometimes implies the suspension of oncological treatment or parenteral feeding, being therefore an important adverse effect, marking the evolution of these types of therapies against cancer. The present work aim is to know the prevalence of oral mucositis in oral cancer immunotherapy compared to its prevalence in standard therapy. MATERIAL AND
methodsA protocol was developed for a systematic review following PRISMA® guidelines and a focused question (PICO) was constructed. A comprehensive literature search was conducted on electronic databases including PubMed, the SCOPUS database, the Cochrane library and the Web of Science (WOS).
resultsSix clinical trials were included that met the different inclusion criteria. In these articles, a discrepancy between the prevalence of OM in patients treated with chemotherapy and patients treated with immunotherapy related to the immune checkpoint PD-1/PD-L1 (Nivolumab and Pembrolizumab) was observed.
conclusionsThe prevalence of oral mucositis is lower in new immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies against oral cancer than drugs used so far (chemotherapy drugs [methotrexate, cisplatin] as well as cetuximab). However, more studies should be carried out to confirm these data.
