Dostarlimab: A breakthrough in the field of oncology.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Of the 19 million cancer cases reported worldwide in 2020, colorectal cancer (CRC) has a 10% prevalence and 9.4% mortality. A critical lack of cancer treatment facilities in third-world countries like Pakistan where a significant prevalence of CRC has been detected. The five FDA-approved drugs used for CCR therapy (Durvalumab, Atezolizumab, Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab, and Avelumab) have been associated with a high occurrence of grade 3-4 adverse side effects. Dostarlimab is a new drug previously used to treat endometrial cancers and has a mechanism of action that is in accordance with other PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. A recent clinical trial has found Dostarlimab to cure 100% of the CRC patients who were given this drug while also showing no adverse events of grade 3 or higher in any patient. The recent clinical trial has opened up doors for future clinical trials perhaps with bigger sample sizes and ones that also include CRC patients belonging to wider geo-economic backgrounds such as those of Pakistan and other Asian countries.
