The impact of obesity-related systemic inflammation on the efficacy, toxicity, and biomarkers of immune checkpoint inhibitors in lung cancer: from mechanisms to clinical management.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2026. 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
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment landscape of lung cancer, yet the heterogeneity in their efficacy and toxicity among different patients remains a significant clinical challenge. Obesity, as a global epidemic associated with chronic low-grade systemic inflammation and complex immunometabolic disturbances, has been identified as a crucial regulatory factor in cancer immunotherapy response. This review aims to systematically and deeply explore the intricate network of interactions between obesity, lung cancer, and immunotherapy. We not only examine the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which obesity-related inflammation influences ICI efficacy through remodeling the tumor microenvironment, altering systemic immune status, and modulating the gut microbiota, but also comprehensively assess its complex impact on clinical outcomes of ICI (including the controversial "obesity paradox" phenomenon) and immune-related adverse events (irAEs), particularly those uniquely associated with endocrine toxicity. Simultaneously, we systematically review novel biomarkers centered around obesity-related inflammatory parameters and body composition (such as circulating adipokines and radiomic features) and their application in integrative predictive models. Finally, based on available evidence, we propose multidisciplinary, longitudinal clinical management strategies tailored for obese lung cancer patients and envision novel combination treatment directions targeting the obesity-inflammation axis, aiming to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for achieving more precise, individualized immunotherapy.
