Lymphodepletion, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, and high versus low dose IL-2 followed by pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic melanoma.
Article in Oncoimmunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of unengineered tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) combined with pembrolizumab and either high (HD, Arm-1) or low (LD, Arm-2) doses of IL-2 in patients with metastatic melanoma (MM). Patients were lymphodepleted with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, followed by TIL infusion and IL-2 (Arm-1: 720,000 IU/kg IV q 8 hrs up to 15 doses; Arm-2: 2 million IU SC for 14 days). Patients received pembrolizumab 200 mg IV starting 21 days post-TIL infusion, and every 3 weeks for up to 2 years. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1. Blood samples were collected for longitudinal flow cytometry and cytokine analysis. In Arm-1 (
