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

Proper patient selection for immunotherapy is critical, as certain tumor microenvironments are more permissible to therapy than others. Currently, the use of programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) and microsatellite instability high and/or mismatch repair deficiency are used as biomarkers for immunotherapy response. To improve tumor characterization, methodologies are being developed to combine imaging with tumor immune environment characterization. Imaging of tumors from immunotherapy responders and nonresponders with various imaging modalities has led to the development of criteria that could predict patient response to immunotherapy. Additionally, radiomics-based artificial intelligence methods are being used to characterize tumor microenvironments to predict and evaluate immunotherapy responses, as well as to predict risk of immune-related adverse events. Molecular imaging techniques are also being developed for various modalities to observe tumor expression of immunotherapy targets, such as PD-L1 and, to confirm the target is being expressed on resident tumors. In all, the advancements of imaging techniques to define tumor immunologic characteristics will help to stratify patients who are more likely to respond to immunotherapies.
