Comparative efficacy of PD-1 blockade in patients with dMMR/MSI-H metastatic colorectal or gastric cancer: a global retrospective study.
Article in ESMO gastrointestinal oncology, 2024. 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
Background: Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blockade improved the survival of patients with mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) and/or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumors, leading to tumor-agnostic approval of pembrolizumab in this population. Whether anti-programmed death (ligand)-1 [PD-(L)1] agents may achieve similar efficacy in dMMR/MSI-H metastatic gastric cancer (mGC) compared to metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is unclear. Materials and methods: We conducted a multicenter cohort study to collect data on patients with dMMR/MSI-H mGC or mCRC treated with anti-PD-(L)1 monotherapy globally at 17 tertiary cancer centers. Clinical features were balanced according to tumor type through the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), as evaluated from the first anti-PD-(L)1 administration. Results: The cohort included 398 mCRC and 121 mGC patients, with a median follow-up of 34.6 and 25.1 months, respectively. The two populations differed for several baseline clinical features: patients with mCRC had younger age (60 versus 68 years, Conclusions: Despite patients with dMMR/MSI-H mGC being enriched with poor prognostic factors as compared to the mCRC counterpart, anti-PD-(L)1 monotherapy's efficacy appears similar in the two tumor types.
