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

The immunotherapy landscape for gastrointestinal (GI) tumors is rapidly evolving. There is an urgent need for reliable biomarkers capable of predicting treatment outcomes to optimize therapeutic strategies and enhance patient prognosis. This review presents a comprehensive overview of biomarkers associated with the immunotherapy response of GI tumors, covering advances in molecular genetics, histopathological markers, and imaging. Key molecular biomarkers, such as microsatellite instability, tumor mutational burden, and programmed death-ligand 1 expression, remain critical for identifying patients likely to benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors. The significance of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, notably the CD8+ T cell to regulatory T cell ratio, as a predictor of immunotherapy response is explored. In addition, advanced imaging techniques, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography-CT, facilitate the noninvasive evaluation of tumor biology and therapeutic response. By bridging molecular and imaging data, this integrated strategy enhances precision in patient selection, treatment monitoring, and adaptive therapy design. Future studies should aim to validate these biomarkers in larger, multicenter cohorts and focus on clinical translation to advance precision medicine in GI oncology.
