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 therapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, leading to dramatic clinical outcomes for a subset of patients. However, many patients do not experience durable responses following immune checkpoint therapy owing to multiple resistance mechanisms, highlighting the need for effective combination strategies that target these resistance pathways and improve clinical responses. The development of combination strategies based on an understanding of the complex biology that regulates human antitumor immune responses has been a major challenge. In this Review, we describe the current landscape of combination therapies. We also discuss how the development of effective combination strategies will require the integration of small, tissue-rich clinical trials, to determine how therapy-driven perturbation of the human immune system affects downstream biological responses and eventual clinical outcomes, reverse translation of clinical observations to immunocompetent preclinical models, to interrogate specific biological pathways and their impact on antitumor immune responses, and novel computational methods and machine learning, to integrate multiple datasets across clinical and preclinical studies for the identification of the most relevant pathways that need to be targeted for successful combination strategies.
