Sex-Related Differences in the Immune System Drive Differential Responses to Anti-PD-1 Immunotherapy.
Article in Biomolecules, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1 antibodies, represent a significant advancement in cancer immunotherapy, but their efficacy varies notably between individuals, influenced by complex biological systems. Recent evidence suggests that sex-related biological differences play a pivotal role in modulating these responses. This study uses a systems biology approach to examine how sex-specific differences in the immune system contribute to variability in the response to treatment. Our model extends previous frameworks by incorporating sex-specific parameters that reflect observed immunological distinctions. The results from the simulation studies align with our clinical observations, showing that on average, males exhibit a more robust response to anti-PD-1 treatment compared to females. Additionally, this study explores the potential of combination therapy with recombinant IL-12, revealing sex-specific differences in treatment efficacy. These findings underscore the need for personalized immunotherapy strategies that consider individual immunological profiles, including sex, to optimize treatment outcomes.
