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

Targeting of the immune system has shown to be a successful therapeutic approach in cancer, with the development of check point inhibitors (ICI) or T-cell engagers (TCE). As immuno-oncology agents modulate the immune system to attack cancer cells and do not act directly on oncogenic vulnerabilities, specific characteristics of these compounds should be taken in consideration during clinical development. In this review we will discuss relevant concepts including limitations of preclinical models, special pharmacologic boundaries, clinical development strategies such as the selection of clinical indication, line of treatment and backbone partner, as well as the endpoints and expected magnitude of benefit required at different stages of the drug development. In addition, future directions for early and late trial designs will be reviewed. Examples from approved drugs or those currently in clinical development will be discussed and options to overcome these limitations will be provided.
