Changes in Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio, Lymphocyte to Monocyte Ratio, and Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio During Palliative Radiotherapy May Predict Efficacy of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor as Re-Challenge Treatment in Advanced Gastric Cancer: A Case Report.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Introduction: Immunotherapy with programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors has emerged as frontline option in patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer. However, two-thirds of patients who received PD-1 inhibitors treatment still had disease progression in 1 year. Subsequent treatment strategies as salvage options always lead to limited efficacy. Case Description: Herein, we presented a case of recurrent metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma that had progressed on first-line treatment with nivolumab, in which systematic inflammation parameters with neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR), and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were significantly changed by palliative radiotherapy on metastatic lymph nodes. The patient achieved persistent response to the re-challenge of immune checkpoint inhibitor, which resulted in survival time reaching 52 months, and is still in extension. Conclusions: We supposed that the palliative radiotherapy may lead to the correction of NLR, LMR, and PLR and finally contribute to the efficacy of the re-challenge treatment by PD-1 inhibitor.
