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

aimA pooled analysis of the efficacy and toxicity of combination immunotherapy versus single-agent ipilimumab in the management of advanced melanoma has been conducted. METHODOLOGY: Eligible studies included randomized controlled studies evaluating ipilimumab-based doublet immunotherapy versus ipilimumab monotherapy for the management of unresectable melanoma.

resultsNivolumab/ipilimumab combination strategy is associated with a significant improvement in objective response rate (odds ratio: 7.38; 95% CI: 3.71-14.67; p < 0.00001) and progression-free survival (0.42; 95% CI: 0.34-0.52; p < 0.00001) as well as a higher relative risk for high-grade elevated alanine aminotransferase (5.58; 95% CI: 2.28-13.67; p = 0.0002).

conclusionThis analysis demonstrated that nivolumab/ipilimumab combination is associated with a higher objective response rate and progression-free survival in the management of advanced melanoma.
