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

To date, preoperative chemoradiation (CRT) is the standard of care for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) regardless of status of mismatch repair. Immunotherapy showed promising results in the neoadjuvant treatment trials in patients with mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) or high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) LARC. The efficacy of CRT plus programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitor in these patients with complex gene mutation remains unclear. Additionally, very few studies reported on whether such combination could induce abscopal effect. We report a case of dMMR and MSI-H LARC with KRAS mutation that achieved pathological complete response of primary lesion and liver metastases after neoadjuvant short-course radiotherapy followed by four cycles chemotherapy of XELOX plus PD-1 inhibitor tislelizumab and a subsequent total mesorectal excision. This case indicates that this combined treatment strategy has remarkable clinical response both in locoregional and distant diseases, which potentially leads to reduction in the risk of distant metastases and better locoregional control for this subgroup of population.
