ImmunoResponse Predictor: a GUI for accurate response prediction to immunotherapy.
Article in PeerJ, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have improved outcomes for subsets of patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) and metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), yet objective response rates remain low (∼15-25%), underscoring the need for tools that support patient stratification. We previously developed LogitDA, a logistic regression-based predictor incorporating feature selection and domain adaptation, which outperformed established immune-related signatures in predicting response to the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab. Here, we present the ImmunoResponse Predictor, a web-based clinical decision-support framework that enables responsible application of LogitDA in real-world settings. The system integrates standardized transcriptomic preprocessing, interpretable individual-level predictions (including single-sample use), clinically motivated LogitDA score cutoffs that prioritize minimization of false negatives, and a cohort-level percentage of applicability with empirically derived thresholds designed to assess whether predictions can be reliably extrapolated to newly uploaded datasets. Importantly, applicability functions as a diagnostic safeguard against distributional shift rather than as a response predictor. We evaluated the framework across four independent cohorts, PCD4989g(mUC), PCD4989g(mRCC), the Moreno cohort, and the UNC-108 cohort. LogitDA achieved prediction accuracies of 0.69, 0.83, 0.86, and 0.53, with corresponding applicability estimates of 74%, 76%, 71%, and 48%, respectively, correctly identifying the UNC-108 cohort as one in which predictions warrant increased caution. Overall, the ImmunoResponse Predictor extends LogitDA into a practical, interpretable, and safeguarded tool for immunotherapy response prediction, supporting cautious clinical and translational use.
