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.

Abstract

backgroundSeveral programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1)/programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibodies have been approved for cancer treatment worldwide. Their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics have been reported mainly in western countries, but related data in Chinese patients are limited. This study was conducted to investigate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of an anti-PD-1 antibody, toripalimab, in Chinese patients.

methodsA single-center phase I study was conducted in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center. Eligible patients were adults with histologically confirmed, treatment-refractory, advanced, solitary malignant tumors. Toripalimab was intravenously infused every 2 weeks in dose-escalating cohorts at 0.3 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, and 240 mg. The study followed standard 3 + 3 design.

conclusionsToripalimab is a promising anti-PD-1 antibody, which was well tolerated and demonstrated anti-tumor activity in treatment-refractory advanced solitary malignant tumors. Further exploration in various tumors and combination therapies is warranted.
