The role of radiotherapy in immunotherapy strategies in the central nervous system.
Review in Neuro-oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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 clinical efficacy and relative tolerability of adverse effects of immune checkpoint immunotherapy have led to its increasingly routine use in the management of multiple advanced solid malignancies. Radiation therapy (RT) is well-known to have both local and distant immunomodulatory effects, which has led to extensive investigation into the synergism of these 2 therapies. While the central nervous system (CNS) has historically been thought to be a sanctuary site, well-protected by the blood-brain barrier from the effects of immunotherapy, over the last several years studies have shown the benefits of these drugs, particularly in metastatic disease involving the CNS. This review explores current progress and the future of combination therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors and RT.
