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

In 5% of female patients with malignant melanoma (MM), MM develops from the genital tract. MM of the cervix is particularly rare. In the present case report, a 73-year-old woman with stage ⅢC cervical MM underwent modified radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. A total of 4 months after surgery, multiple metastases were found in the brain, lung, liver, lymph nodes and bone. The patient underwent γ-knife surgery of the brain and received treatment with anti PD-1 antibodies (nivolumab) and anti-CTLA4 antibodies (ipilimumab); however, they were ineffective and the patient subsequently died. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of treatment using two types of immune checkpoint inhibitors administered to a patient with cervical MM. Taken together with previous reports, this case suggests that immune checkpoint inhibitors may be less effective in cervical MM than in cutaneous MM; however, the number of cases is small. Further development of biomarkers to stratify efficacy is required.
