Biomarkers for predicting tumor response to PD-1 inhibitors in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
Article in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is among the most lethal malignant neoplasms, and few patients with pancreatic cancer benefit from immunotherapy. We retrospectively analyzed advanced pancreatic cancer patients who received PD-1 inhibitor-based combination therapies during 2019-2021 in our institution. The clinical characteristics and peripheral blood inflammatory markers (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio [NLR], platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio [PLR], lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio [LMR], and lactate dehydrogenase [LDH]) were collected at baseline. Chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests were used to evaluate relationships between the above parameters and tumor response. Cox regression analyses were employed to assess the effects of baseline factors on patients' survival and immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Overall, 67 patients who received at least two cycles of PD-1 inhibitor were considered evaluable. A lower NLR was independent predictor for objective response rate (38.1% vs. 15.2%,
