Nab-paclitaxel plus S-1 with or without PD-1 inhibitor in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with only hepatic metastases: a retrospective cohort study.

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
purposeThe evidence regarding programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) inhibitors on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with metastases remains controversial. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of Nab-paclitaxel plus S1 (NPS) with or without Sintilimab, a PD-1 inhibitor, in patients with PDAC with only hepatic metastases (mPDAC).
methodsUntreated mPDAC patients who received NPS with (the combination group) or without Sintilimab (the NPS group) were retrospectively studied. Surgery was considered when the pancreatic tumor became resectable or borderline resectable on radiological examinations, and with complete metabolic response of liver metastases.
resultsBetween October 2017 and February 2020, 32 patients were in the combination group and 34 patients in the NPS group. Successful salvage resection was achieved in 17 (25.8%) patients after tumor-downstaging (combination 12 vs. NPS 5, P = 0.03). The median overall survival (OS) was 16.8 months in the combination group and 10.0 months in the NPS group (P = 0.002). Remarkable OS benefit was observed in patients with decline in CA19-9 of ≥ 50% (16.0 vs. 6.5, P = 0.003), reduction in
conclusionsDespite the inherent biases of this retrospective study, the addition of Sintilimab significantly improved salvage resection rates and OS compared with the NPS regimen and had a favorable safety profile in treatment naïve mPDAC patients.
