Serum CCL22 Increased in Advanced Melanoma Patients with Liver Metastases: Report of 5 Cases.
Article in Case reports in oncology. 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
Advanced melanoma patients with liver metastases show a limited response to immunotherapy by the induction of regulatory T cells and depletion of effector cells, which leads to a poor prognosis. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) induce apoptosis of activated antigen-specific CD8+ T cells in melanomas, leading to induction of tolerance to immune checkpoint inhibitors. In addition, TAMs produce various chemokines, and several serum pro-inflammatory chemokines measured at baseline are useful for the prediction of the efficacy of immunomodulatory drugs. In this study, serum levels of CCL22, CXCL5, and CXCL10 were evaluated by ELISA at baseline in 10 melanoma patients, 5 with liver metastases and 5 with lung metastases, treated with anti-PD1 Abs. Serum levels of CCL22, but not CXCL5 and CXCL10, were increased in patients with liver metastases compared to those with lung metastases or historical controls. The present data suggest that elevated serum CCL22 levels might be a biomarker for liver metastases in melanoma patients.
