Hyperprogression in PDL1 Expressive, Recurrent Gastroesophageal-junction Adenocarcinoma After Pembrolizumab.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Hyperprogression is a pattern of accelerated tumor growth noted uncommonly after the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in some patients. We present a 56-year-old female with gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma who was initially treated with neoadjuvant radiation and chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel, followed by esophagogastrectomy and postoperative FOLFOX chemotherapy. After a stable two-year course, she was noted to have recurrence at the GEJ which was biopsy confirmed. She was started on pembrolizumab, after which she developed several new metastases noted on the PET/CT. Lesions were noted in iliac bones, spine, retroperitoneal lymph nodes, hilar nodes, mediastinum, and lungs. Postdiscontinuation of the pembrolizumab, she received six cycles of paclitaxel with ramucirumab and showed remarkable improvement on the next imaging scan with resolution of osseous lesions, lung nodules and significant improvement in hilar, mediastinal, and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. We hope that this case report sheds further light on this uncommon complication of immune checkpoint inhibitors.
