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

objectiveTo investigate the clinical application value of Pembrolizumab (PEM) in the treatment of advanced cutaneous malignant melanoma (ACMM).

methodsThe data of 56 patients with ACMM were retrospectively analyzed. According to the treatment methods, they were divided into a control group (30 cases) and an observation group (26 cases). Patients in the control group were given chemotherapy with Temozolomide (TEM), and patients in the observation group were treated with PEM on the basis of the treatment provided to the control group. The short-term therapeutic efficacy, long-term survival rate and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.

resultsAfter treatment, the short-term clinical effective rate was higher in the observation group than that in the control group (P<0.05). In addition, the survival time in the observation group was longer than that in the control group (P<0.001); and the one-year survival rate was higher in the observation group (53.85% vs. 40.00%, P>0.05). No statistical difference was found in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05).

conclusionPEM can improve the short-term clinical effective recovery rate, long-term survival time and prognosis survival rate of patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma, with no increased incidence of drug-related adverse reactions. It is relatively safe and worthy of front-line clinical promotion and application.
