Interconnection of Gut Microbiome and Efficacy of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Inoperable Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) varies widely across patients. Growing evidence indicates that the gut microbiome, through its interaction with the tumor microenvironment, may influence the response to immunotherapy. To investigate this, we analyzed fecal and tumor samples from 63 patients with inoperable NSCLC undergoing ICI therapy. Based on microbiome profiling using 16S rRNA sequencing, patients were grouped according to treatment benefit, defined as progression-free survival (PFS) of six months or longer. Associations between α-diversity indices, microbial composition at the genus and phylum levels, and a composite Sum Index of Binary Abundance (SIBA) were examined in relation to clinical outcomes. Higher microbial α-diversity was linked to improved response to ICIs (
