An Indirect Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Dostarlimab and Doxorubicin for the Treatment of Advanced and Recurrent Endometrial Cancer.
Article in The oncologist, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 8 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThere is no clear standard of care for advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer (EC) following platinum-based therapy. Dostarlimab is approved for patients with mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR)/microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) advanced/recurrent EC. This indirect treatment comparison (ITC) assessed dostarlimab efficacy and safety from the single-arm GARNET (NCT02715284) trial compared with doxorubicin from ZoptEC (NCT01767155). PATIENTS AND
methodsPatient-level data and study variables from GARNET Cohort A1 (dMMR/MSI-H EC) and the ZoptEC doxorubicin control arm were merged. Patients were matched based on eligibility criteria (main analysis population). Safety population included all patients who received treatment. The primary efficacy comparison outcome, overall survival (OS), was calculated using a Cox proportional hazards model, with adjusted stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting. Modified assessment-scheduled matching Kaplan--Meier analysis was used for progression-free survival (PFS) and time to deterioration (TTD) in quality of life (QoL).
resultsIn the main analysis population, median (95% CI) OS was not reached (NR; 18.0 months--NR) for dostarlimab (n = 92) and was 11.2 (10.0-13.1) months for doxorubicin (n = 233; HR: 0.41 [95% CI: 0.28-0.61]); median PFS was 12.2 (3.3-NR) and 4.9 (4.1-6.6) months, respectively. Median TTD in QoL was NR (2.5-NR; n = 61) and 4.5 (4.1-5.4; n = 188) months, respectively. Similar rates of adverse events (AEs, 11.6% vs 15.3%) and serious AEs (34.1% vs 30.1%) were observed with dostarlimab (n = 129) and doxorubicin (n = 249). Grade ≥3 AEs occurred in 48.1% vs 78.3%, respectively.
conclusionThis ITC suggests a favorable benefit:risk profile for dostarlimab in patients with dMMR/MSI-H advanced/recurrent EC.
