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

The incidence rate of pseudoprogression during immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer is reportedly 3.6%-6.9%, while pseudoprogression during chemoimmunotherapy is rare. Reports on pseudoprogression during dual immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy are lacking. Herein, a 55-year-old male with invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (cT2aN2M1c [OTH, PUL], stage IVB, and programmed death-ligand 1 expression <1%), renal dysfunction, and disseminated intravascular coagulation was treated with carboplatin, solvent-based paclitaxel, nivolumab, and ipilimumab. After treatment initiation, computed tomography (CT) on day 14 showed disease progression. The patient was diagnosed with pseudoprogression because of a lack of symptoms, improved platelet count, and decreased fibrin/fibrinogen degradation product levels. CT on day 36 showed a reduction in the primary lesion size, multiple lung metastases, and mesenteric metastases. Therefore, pseudoprogression should be considered during dual immunotherapy with chemotherapy.
