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

Background: Esophagogastric junctional squamous cell carcinoma (EJSCC) is quite rare among all gastric carcinoma, its potential resectable rate is low due to the late diagnosis. Recently, programmed death-1 (PD-1) blockade combined with anti-angiogenesis have gained accumulated clinical experiences in treating solid tumors. This is the first reported case with EJSCC who achieved a partial remission (PR) after neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) inhibitor plus chemotherapy. Case Description: We present an EJSCC case treated with novel neoadjuvant treatment. A 64-year-old Chinese male had the symptom of chocking for 3 months. An enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan found a locally advanced, potentially unresectable esophagogastric junctional (EGJ) mass, and the preoperative immunohistochemistry result exhibited a highly positive programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, so the patient received three courses of neoadjuvant camrelizumab (200 mg/day), apatinib (750 mg/day), albumin paclitaxel (200 mg/day) and nedaplatin (70 mg/day), he was well tolerant without any adverse event, and he underwent radical surgery after a significant tumor shrinkage. The patient recovered well after surgery, and he has received four cycles of camrelizumab and apatinib as maintenance treatment. There is no recurrence 7 months after surgery. Conclusions: PD-1 blockade, VEGFR-2 inhibitor plus chemotherapy is effective and safe for the patient with EJSCC.
