Microbiota and immune-related adverse events in cancer immunotherapy.
Review in Nature reviews. Cancer, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In response to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), patients with cancer can develop immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which are off-target toxicities affecting non-tumour tissues. Development of an irAE can require cessation of ICI treatment and cause additional morbidities, unrelated to cancer. Although the mechanisms that drive irAEs remain largely unknown, thus limiting treatment strategies, emerging evidence implicates tissue microbiomes, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract, lung and skin, as potential mediators. Here we review evidence that supports roles for the microbiome in irAEs. We focus on ICI colitis, a common irAE that has strong association with the gut microbiome. We examine clinical and preclinical studies that shed light on the immune and microbial drivers of ICI colitis and discuss current experimental treatments. By summarizing recent findings, we aim to encourage research into therapies that reduce irAE risk and severity while preserving anti-tumour efficacy of ICI treatment.
