A Gene Panel for Early Identification of Future Responders to Immune Checkpoint Blockade.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), therapies that target the PD-1 pathway, CTLA-4 pathway, and other checkpoint pathways, lead to durable responses in many cancer types. Since only a minority of patients respond to ICB, it may be useful to identify the future responders early in the course of treatment. In this study we evaluated a small (15 genes) biologically motivated panel, consisting of genes involved in immune activation and checkpoint pathways, for early identification of future responders to ICB. The panel passed consistency check, pathological and in-silico validations, and was an excellent predictor (area under ROC curve >0.95) of eventual response to ICB, both CTLA-4 and PD-1 blockade, when applied to metastatic melanoma patients undergoing ICB (i.e., "on-treatment") in a publicly available dataset. These results suggest that this small biologically motivated panel may be useful for early identification of future responders to ICB.
