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

rationalePseudo progression is a noted phenomenon of immune checkpoint inhibitors therapy, which has been defined as a response after an initial enlargement of the tumor followed by tumor reduction. In July 2017, the Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval of nivolumab for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer patients whose tumor harbors deficient mismatch repair. PATIENT CONCERNS AND DIAGNOSIS: We present a patient who received nivolumab for heterogeneity of right-sided metastatic colon carcinoma.

interventionThe patient was treated with nivolumab combined with chemotherapy. OUTCOME: The computed tomography showed mass lesion in the left lobe of liver remained stable while metastasis tumors under envelop of liver were exacerbated after 6 cycles of nivolumab combined with chemotherapy, and later regressed. LESSONS: The status of mismatch repair in primary tumor and metastatic liver carcinoma is contradictory but using nivolumab demonstrated encouraging efficacy. This is the first case of pseudo progression undergoing immunotherapy for heterogeneity of right-sided metastatic colon carcinoma.
