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

We report the case of a 61-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the left lung and mediastinal lymph node metastases who received nivolumab and experienced a better antitumor effect than expected but died soon afterward. A clinical analysis showed that the grades of the treatment-related events did not cause death. The immunological impact of this treatment on his body, especially at his age and with concurrent infection, possibly augmented by the blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway, is proposed to be one of the key factors for his death. Consequently, we suggest that the cellular immune status and the clinical characteristics of patients, especially the symptoms like concurrent infection, should be considered in the design of clinical protocol of such a kind of therapy.
