Efficacy of PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors for the therapy of cervical cancer with varying PD-L1 expression levels: a single-arm meta-analysis.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: To assess the effectiveness and tolerability of both PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors in advanced cervical cancer (CC), focusing on varying PD-L1 levels. Methods: A comprehensive exploration was carried out on EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Library databases as well as Web of Science up to May 25, 2024, for studies involving advanced CC patients receiving PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. Inclusion criteria were studies reporting objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), median progression-free survival (PFS), as well as median overall survival (OS). Data extraction and quality assessment were performed by two reviewers using the JBI Case Series Critical Appraisal Checklist, followed by a meta-analysis via STATA/MP 16.0. Results: Five eligible studies comprising 223 patients were chosen. ORR and DCR were 42% (95% CI: 17%-66%, P = 0.00) and 70% (95% CI: 22%-117%, P = 0.00), respectively, in the PD-L1 positive patients and were 36% (95% CI: 17%-54%, P = 0.00) and 47% (95% CI: 30%-63%, P = 0.00), respectively, in patients with PD-L1 negativity. For patients exhibiting PD-L1 positivity, median PFS and median OS were 3.98 months (95% CI: 0.80-7.16, P = 0.01) and 11.26 months (95% CI: 3.01-12.58, P = 0.00), respectively. Conclusion: With PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, PD-L1 positive CC patients demonstrate superior ORR, DCR, median PFS, and median OS, underscoring PD-L1 as one biomarker for immunotherapy response.
