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

The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has been demonstrated in the treatment of numerous types of cancer and ICIs have remained a key focus of cancer research. However, improvements in survival rates only occur in a subset of patients, due to the complexity of drug resistance. Therefore, further investigations are required to identify predictive biomarkers that distinguish responders and non‑responders. Combined therapeutics involving ICIs and other modalities demonstrate potential in overcoming resistance to ICIs; however, further preclinical and clinical trials are required. Concurrently, prompt recognition and intervention of immune‑related adverse events are crucial to optimize the use of ICIs in clinical treatment. The present study aimed to review the current literature surrounding the mechanisms and application of ICIs, with the aim of providing a theoretical basis for clinicians.
