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 gut microbiota is recognized as one of the extrinsic factors that modulate the clinical outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), such as inhibitors targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), in cancer patients. However, the link between intestinal barrier, which mutually interacts with the gut microbiota, and therapeutic effects has not been extensively studied so far. Therefore, the primary goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between intestinal barrier functionality and clinical outcomes of anti-PD-1 therapy in patients with advanced melanoma. Fecal samples were collected from 64 patients before and during anti-PD-1 therapy. The levels of zonulin, calprotectin, and secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA), which reflect intestinal permeability, inflammation, and immunity, respectively, were measured in fecal samples (
