Clinical and molecular correlates of response to immune checkpoint blockade in urothelial carcinoma with liver metastasis.

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
Despite recent advancements in immunotherapy, urothelial carcinoma patients with liver metastasis have a poor response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and short survival durations. Here, we investigated the clinical activity and molecular correlates of resistance to ICI in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC), focusing on liver metastasis. In this study, 755 patients with mUC who received pembrolizumab (JUOG cohort), 144 mUC patients who were treated with atezolizumab (IMvigor210 cohort), and 59 mUC patients who had metastatic samples available were enrolled. The presence of liver metastasis was associated with increased peripheral monocytes and a reduction in lymphocytes when compared with other metastatic sites, and a poor prognosis for ICI therapy. The peripheral monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio was significantly correlated with the CD163
