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

With the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2018, cancer immunotherapy is attracting more attention than ever before and is strongly expected to develop in the future. Immune checkpoint inhibitors were developed as drugs with a completely different mechanism from conventional chemotherapy for cancer patients, and their therapeutic effects were characterized not only by tumor shrinkage but also by long-term survival of cancer patients, which had a strong impact on cancer treatment. On the other hand, as a result of numerous clinical trials, it was found that the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors alone is only about 10-30%. Currently, more than 2,500 clinical trials of combined cancer immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors are being conducted with the hope of further improving therapeutic efficacy. Another new cancer immunotherapy, Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) gene transfer T-cell therapy, has been approved for B-cell hematopoietic tumors. In this article, we will outline the future prospects of cancer immunotherapy developed in this way, especially from the viewpoint of "strategies for ineffective cancer".
