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

Uterine endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies worldwide. With relatively few options for late-line therapies for advanced or relapsed endometrial cancer, the use of pretreated therapies may broaden the choice of treatments. Here, we report a case of recurrent microsatellite instability-high endometrial cancer that acquired resistance to pembrolizumab but favorably responded to the lenvatinib and pembrolizumab combination therapy. Lenvatinib combined with pembrolizumab may be effective against endometrial cancer resistant to pembrolizumab monotherapy, encouraging its use regardless of prior administration of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Further investigation on the lenvatinib and pembrolizumab combination therapy and the mechanism underlying its anticancer effect may provide new insights into cancer immunotherapy and tumor microenvironments.
