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

Immuno-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) bring a promising prospect for patients with cancers, which restrains the growth of tumor cells by enhancing anti-tumor activity. Nevertheless, not all patients benefit from the administration of ICIs monotherapy. The partial response or resistance to ICIs is mainly due to the complex and heterogenous tumor microenvironment (TME). The combined therapy is necessary for improving the efficacy of tumor treatment. Chemotherapy is reported not only to kill tumor cells directly, but also to stimulate effective anti-tumor immune responses. Several combined therapies of ICIs and chemotherapeutic agents have been approved for the first-line treatment of cancers, including PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. This review summarizes the potential mechanisms of the combined therapy of ICIs and chemotherapeutic agents in inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) and reprogramming TME, and elucidates the possible anti-tumor effects of combined therapy from the perspective of metabolic reprogramming and microbiome reprogramming.
