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

Since pembrolizumab, an anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) antibody, showed a dramatic response to immunogenic cancers with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) and/or deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) in the pilot clinical trial KEYNOTE-016, subsequent studies have confirmed durable responses of anti-PD-1 inhibitors for MSI-H/dMMR solid tumors. As immunotherapy is described as a "game changer," the therapeutic landscape for MSI-H/dMMR solid tumors including gastrointestinal cancers has changed considerably in the last decade. An MSI/MMR status has been established as the predictive biomarker for immune checkpoint blockades, playing an indispensable role in the clinical practice of patients with MSI-H/dMMR tumors. Immunotherapy is also now investigated for locally advanced MSI-H/dMMR gastrointestinal cancers. Despite this great success, a few populations with MSI-H/dMMR gastrointestinal cancers do not respond to immunotherapy, possibly due to the existence of intrinsic or acquired resistance mechanisms. Clarifying the underlying mechanisms of resistance remains a future task, whereas attempts to overcome resistance and improve the efficacy of immunotherapy are currently ongoing. Herein, we review recent clinical trials with special attention to MSI-H/dMMR gastrointestinal cancers together with basic/translational findings, which provide their rationale, and discuss perspectives for the further therapeutic development of treatment in this field.
