Immunological effects of radiopharmaceutical therapy.
Review in Frontiers in nuclear medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
Radiation therapy (RT) is a pillar of cancer therapy used by more than half of all cancer patients. Clinically, RT is mostly delivered as external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). However, the scope of EBRT is limited in the metastatic setting, where all sites of disease need to be irradiated. Such a limitation is attributed to radiation-induced toxicities, for example on bone marrow and hematologic toxicities, resulting from a large EBRT field. Radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) has emerged as an alternative to EBRT for the irradiation of all sites of metastatic disease. While RPT can reduce tumor burden, it can also impact the immune system and anti-tumor immunity. Understanding these effects is crucial for predicting and managing treatment-related hematological toxicities and optimizing their integration with other therapeutic modalities, such as immunotherapies. Here, we review the immunomodulatory effects of α- and β-particle emitter-based RPT on various immune cell lines, such as CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and regulatory T (Treg) cells. We briefly discuss Auger electron-emitter (AEE)-based RPT, and finally, we highlight the combination of RPT with immune checkpoint inhibitors, which may offer potential therapeutic synergies for patients with metastatic cancers.
