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

backgroundThere is no large real-world data regarding efficacy and safety of immunotherapy in gastric cancer (GC). Although some tumors can grow rapidly after immunotherapy, the patient proportions and survival outcomes are unclear in GC.

methodsA multicenter, prospective observational study was performed to evaluate clinical outcomes including survival time, safety, and tumor behavior of nivolumab treatment for patients with advanced GC. Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and secondary endpoints included response rate (RR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), tumor growth rate (TGR) at first evaluation, and safety.

resultsOf 501 enrolled patients, 487 were evaluable (median age 70 years, 71% male, performance status 0/1/2 [42%/44%/14%], 21% HER2-pos, 42% patients with ascites). Median OS was 5.82 months (95% CI 5.29-7.00) with a 1-year survival rate of 30% and median PFS of 1.84 months (95% CI 1.71-1.97). The DCR was 39.4% and the RR was 14.2% (95% CI 10.3-18.8) in 282 patients with measurable lesions. In 219 patients evaluable for TGR, 20.5% were identified as hyperprogressive disease (HPD). OS from the first evaluation of patients with HPD was shorter compared with non-HPD (HR 1.77, 95% CI 1.25-2.51, P = 0.001), but it was not worse than that of patients with progression and non-HPD (HR 1.05, 95% CI 0.72-1.53, P = 0.8). A multivariate analysis revealed the presence of peritoneal metastasis was a prognostic factor for OS and PFS.

conclusionsOur real-world data demonstrated the comparable survival time to a previous clinical trial and revealed the frequency and prognosis of patients with HPD in advanced GC treated with nivolumab.
