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

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) boost the endogenous anticancer immunity, evoking long-lasting anticancer responses in a subset of patients with solid tumors. Simultaneously, ICI are also associated with serious toxicities, impacting treatment duration and the quality of life. The proposed processes underlying ICI-related toxicity include T-cell activation and recruitment to non-tumor tissues, involvement of other immune cells and fibroblasts and the host' microbiome composition. However, the exact mechanisms of these processes remain incompletely understood, hindering clinicians' ability to predict and identify ICI-related toxicity in the early stages of treatment. Molecular imaging may play a role as a non-invasive biomarker, providing a tool to study ICI-related toxicity. This review discusses the applications of molecular imaging to answer questions regarding the mechanisms, detection, and prediction of ICI-related toxicity. Potential targets and the current state of development of suitable imaging techniques are discussed.
