Immunotherapy in Gastrointestinal Cancers: Current Insights.
Review in Clinical pharmacology : advances and applications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Gastrointestinal cancer is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors worldwide. The treatment landscape of gastrointestinal cancer has entered a new era with the advent of immunotherapy, which activates the immune system to identify and eliminate tumor cells. Immunotherapy has demonstrated high efficacy and tolerable toxicity profiles compared to conventional therapies. Immune checkpoint inhibitors including PD-1, PD-L1, CTLA-4 and LAG-3 in combination with targeted therapy or chemotherapy have been approved for the treatment of gastrointestinal tumors with good clinical patient benefit. In recent years, a variety of novel immunotherapeutic approaches have emerged. For example, adoptive T-cell therapy, such as claudin18.2-targeted CAR-T has achieved an objective remission rate of 48.6% in patients with advanced gastric cancer and gastroesophageal junction cancer. Oncolytic viruses inhibits tumor growth in both tumor lysis and immune activation, and is currently showing its efficacy against gastrointestinal tumors in some clinical trials. In addition, cancer vaccines, with their unique high degree of precision, have improved the effectiveness of individualized therapy. Personalized neoantigen vaccines combined with other immunotherapeutic drugs or chemotherapy, have shown some efficacy and safety in gastrointestinal patients. In this review, we summarize these recent advances in immunotherapy for the treatment of gastrointestinal tumors. Additionally, the challenges and limitations linked to immunotherapy were explored. This review will expand our understanding of clinical studies on immunotherapy in gastrointestinal cancer and assist in individualizing patient treatment strategies, maximizing therapeutic benefits, and improving patient prognosis.
