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

backgroundThis multicentre, open-label study evaluated the efficacy and safety of antiprogrammed death ligand 1 antibody SHR-1316 plus liposomal irinotecan and 5-fluorouracil as the first-line treatment for patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

methodsEligible patients received SHR-1316 (10 mg/kg), liposomal irinotecan (60 mg/m

resultsWe enrolled 23 patients between 11 March 2019 and 31 May 2019. The median follow-up duration was 15.2 months (95% CI 14.2-16.2). The median PFS was 8.5 months (95% CI 1.2-15.8), and ORR and DCR were 52.2% (95% CI 30.1-74.3) and 73.9% (95% CI 54.5-93.3), respectively. The median OS was 11.6 months (95% CI 6.7-16.6). The most common treatment-related grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs) were neutropenia (17.4%), nausea (13.0%), and anorexia (13.0%). Treatment-related serious AEs occurred in two patients. No treatment-related deaths occurred.

conclusionsSHR-1316 plus liposomal irinotecan and 5-fluorouracil has a promising efficacy and manageable safety profile, and could be a new first-line treatment approach for patients with unresectable locally advanced or distant metastatic ESCC.
