Near complete remission of a locally advanced giant melanoma of the vulva following hypo-fractionated radiotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors: A case report.

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
Melanoma is known to be insensitive to radiotherapy; however, the present study reports the case of a patient with vulvar malignant melanoma in which near complete remission of the target area was observed after implementing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and hypo-fractionated radiotherapy (HFRT). The patient was treated with an intensity-modulated radiation therapy technique that delivered a hypo-fractionated dose of 3,000 cGy in six fractions. After 3 days, the patient underwent immunotherapy with two cycles of 240 mg triprizumab every 2 weeks. Tumors that underwent radiotherapy had markedly decreased in size and a near complete remission of the melanoma was observed 4 months after radiotherapy. However, the metastases in the liver and lungs continued to grow, new metastases appeared in the abdominal subcutaneous tissue and enlarged lymph nodes were observed in the pelvic area. The results of the present study indicated that ICIs and HFRT exert a marked local effect, but no abscopal effect.
