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

Cancer immunotherapy using immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) such as PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors has been well established for various types of cancer. Monotherapy with ICIs, however, can achieve a durable response in only a subset of patients. There is a great unmet need for the ICI-resistant-tumors. Since patients who respond to ICIs should have preexisting antitumor T cell response, combining ICIs with cancer vaccines that forcibly induce an antitumor T cell response is a reasonable strategy. However, the preferred administration sequence of the combination of ICIs and cancer vaccines is unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that combining an oral WT1 cancer vaccine using a
