Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors for the Treatment of Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia: Rationale, Effectiveness, and Future Fertility.
Review in Current treatment options in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it

Abstract
opinion statementMost individuals with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) are cured with chemotherapy; however, about 5% of them will develop chemotherapy-resistant disease and will die of disease progression. Most GTN tissues express programmed death ligand-1 (PDL-1), making immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting this pathway an attractive treatment option for individuals with GTN. There is increasing evidence to support the use of ICIs for individuals with recurrent or resistant GTN, but available data are derived from case reports and small single arm trials. As promising as it seems, not all individuals with GTN respond to ICIs, and there is lack of evidence toward which factors mediate the effect of ICIs on GTN. In addition, treatment-related adverse events and impact on future fertility are not negligible and should be considered before initiating this treatment. Therefore, additional research is needed to evaluate treatment outcome of ICIs in GTN compared to standard treatment, and to identify molecular and clinical predictors for treatment response, before this treatment is incorporated into the standard of care.
