In one paragraph

Review in Cureus, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Advanced melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer characterized by poor survival rates and response to cytotoxic chemotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are novel agents capable of utilizing one's own immune system to bring about the tumor destruction. Nivolumab and pembrolizumab are fully humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies that have shown significant anti-tumor activity in a variety of cancers including melanoma and have significantly improved the survival outcomes in patients with advanced melanoma. In this updated review article, we will discuss the outcomes of various clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of these agents. We will also briefly discuss their mechanism of action and adverse effects.
