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.

Abstract

A single-institution pilot clinical trial was performed combining nonmyeloablative chemotherapy and the adoptive transfer of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes with interleukin-2 in patients with metastatic melanoma. Nineteen patients were enrolled with 13 patients (68%) successfully completing treatment. An overall response rate (partial and complete responses) of 26% by intention to treat was achieved with a median follow-up time of 10 months. Of the 13 treated patients, there were 2 complete responses and 3 partial responses (38% response rate among treated patients), along with 4 patients with stable disease ranging from 2+ to 24+months. Three of the 4 patients with stable disease have had disease control without additional therapy, including one at 24+ months. Adoptive therapy with infiltrating lymphocytes is labor intensive but feasible and has a high response rate in treated patients.
