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

"Rare cancers" are a diverse collection of cancers that collectively account for approximately 20% of all adult cancers in the United States. Their rarity has caused an underrepresentation of these cancers in preclinical research and clinical trials, leading to fewer (and often no) treatment options for patients backed by robust clinical evidence. The recent advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) into the oncologist's armamentarium, while revolutionizing the treatment of many common cancers, has also started to make gradual inroads into the treatment of certain rare cancers. One reason is that the efficacy of ICIs depends more on factors intrinsic to the tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment and less on tumor histology. Recent years have seen ICI approvals in many rare cancers, and many trials are being designed using ICIs as single agents or in combination. In this commentary, we present an overview of the emerging role of ICIs in some rare cancers.
