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

Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma (STS), with limited therapies available for metastatic disease. Here, we describe a case of a 30-year-old male with ES of the left knee and underwent surgery and radiation therapy for the primary disease. After 2 years, he had local recurrence and underwent extensive resection surgery; however, adjuvant chemotherapies were delayed due to recurrent wound infection. Nine months after the second surgery, progressive disease was confirmed after detection of metastases to the lungs and inguinal lymph nodes. Amputation was performed for the local recurrence, followed by inguinal lymph nodes dissection. Pazopanib was transiently administered but discontinued as a result of wound dehiscence. The tumour specimens were detected with unexpected high level of PD-L1 expression and tumoural infiltrating lymphocytes. Subsequently, he received camrelizumab 2.0 mg/kg every 21 days for 18 cycles with rapid remission of the pulmonary metastases. This promising response to camrelizumab indicates that immunotherapies may be an alternative choice for patients with metastatic ES in lung based on analysing the tumour immune microenvironment.
