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

Blockade of immune checkpoints has transformed the therapy of several cancers. However, immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have emerged as a major challenge limiting the clinical application of this approach. B cells are recognized as major players in the pathogenesis of human autoimmunity and have been successfully targeted to treat these disorders. While T cells have been extensively studied as therapeutic targets of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), these checkpoints also impact B cell tolerance. Blockade of immune checkpoints in the clinic is associated with distinct changes in the B cell compartment that correlate with the development of irAEs. In this review, we focus on the possible role of humoral immunity, specifically human B cell subsets and autoantibodies in the pathogenesis of ICB-induced irAEs. There remains an unmet need to better understand the T:B cell cross talk underlying the activation of pathogenic B cells and the development of ICB-induced irAEs. Such studies may identify new targets or approaches to prevent or treat irAEs and improve the application of ICB therapy in cancer.
