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

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment of multiple cancer types. However, only a fraction of patients with cancer responds to ICIs employed as stand-alone therapeutics, calling for the development of safe and effective combinatorial regimens to extend the benefits of ICIs to a larger patient population. In addition to exhibiting a good safety and efficacy profile, targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) with radiopharmaceuticals that specifically accumulate in the tumor microenvironment has been associated with promising immunostimulatory effects that (at least in preclinical cancer models) provide a robust platform for the development of TRT/ICI combinations. We discuss preclinical and clinical findings suggesting that TRT stands out as a promising partner for the development of safe and efficient combinatorial regimens involving ICIs.
