Navigating the gut-metabolite-immune axis: enhancing efficacy and mitigating toxicity of immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 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 revolutionized the oncological landscape by disrupting inhibitory pathways, notably programmed cell death protein-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) pathways, thereby reinvigorating host antitumor immunity. Although these agents have emerged as frontline standard therapies for malignancies, their clinical utility remains limited. Interpatient therapeutic variability is inextricably linked to the composition and functional capacity of the gut microbiome. The underlying mechanisms appear to involve a complex dialogue between the microbiota and host immune system, where microbial metabolites serve as critical mediators in remodeling the tumor microenvironment. Despite these insights, progression in the field remains constrained due to heterogeneity in study cohorts and sample-processing methodologies, hindering the establishment of reproducible individualized predictive models and clinical intervention strategies. Consequently, there is an urgent need to systematically delineate the microbiome-metabolite-immune axis to optimize the balance between ICI efficacy and systemic toxicity. By synthesizing the latest evidence, this review aimed to highlight the pivotal roles of specific taxa, including
