1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by a high rate of systemic metastasis, insensitivity to conventional treatment and susceptibility to drug resistance, resulting in a poor patient prognosis. The immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) represented by antibodies of programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) and programmed death receptor ligand 1 (PD-L1) have provided new therapeutic options for TNBC. However, the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade monotherapy is suboptimal immune response, which may be caused by reduced antigen presentation, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, interplay with other immune checkpoints and aberrant activation of oncological signaling in tumor cells. Therefore, to improve the sensitivity of TNBC to ICIs, suitable patients are selected based on reliable predictive markers and treated with a combination of ICIs with other therapies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, oncologic virus and neoantigen-based therapies. This review discusses the current mechanisms underlying the resistance of TNBC to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, the potential biomarkers for predicting the efficacy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy and recent advances in the combination therapies to increase response rates, the depth of remission and the durability of the benefit of TNBC to ICIs.
