A prospective study investigating the efficacy and toxicity of definitive ChemoRadiation and ImmunOtherapy (CRIO) in locally and/or regionally advanced unresectable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
Trial report in Radiation oncology (London, England), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundPatients with unresectable advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) are generally treated with palliative intent. Immune checkpoint blockade has significant activity in the palliative setting in patients with recurrent or metastatic cSCC. This single arm phase 2 prospective study aims to investigate the combination of curative intent chemoradiation and durvalumab (anti-PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor) for this patient cohort.
methodsPatients with unresectable locally and or regionally advanced pathologically confirmed cSCC (stage III-IVa) deemed fit for CRIO by consensus of the Multidisciplinary meeting will be eligible. In the first stage of a two-stage minimax design, we aim to recruit a total of 15 patients. If fewer than 7 patients achieved a complete response in the first stage, we will conclude the treatment is not more effective than standard treatment. The co-primary endpoints of CRIO are the safety of treatment (acute and late toxicities) and the rate of complete response. Secondary endpoints would include overall survival, progression free survival, and locoregional control. Translational research endpoints including biomarkers (CD73, CD39, PD-1, PD-L1) will also be explored utilising multiplex immunohistochemistry on tumour biopsy samples obtained prior to commencing treatment and during treatment (week 2). In addition, the utility of CXCR-4 PET/CT scan will be explored. DISCUSSION: CRIO is a novel trial evaluating the combination of curative intent chemoradiotherapy with concurrent and adjuvant durvalumab for patients with unresectable stage III-IVa cSCC.
