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

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common gastrointestinal malignancies worldwide, characterized by a high incidence rate, low screening rate, and subtle early symptoms. As a result, the majority of patients are diagnosed at an advanced or metastatic stage, contributing to poor overall prognosis. In recent years, the emergence and continuous advancement of immunotherapy have revolutionized the traditional treatment landscape for GC, offering new hope for precision medicine. Immunotherapy exerts its antitumor effects primarily by modulating the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and includes modalities such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), adoptive cell therapies (ACTs), and cancer vaccines. Among these, ICIs and ACT have garnered significant attention. This review summarizes the underlying mechanisms, current applications, and major challenges of immunotherapy in GC. In addition, we discuss emerging biomarkers with potential utility for predicting immunotherapeutic efficacy in GC patients.
