Clinical Response of Primary Malignant Pericardial Mesothelioma with Peritoneal Dissemination to Nivolumab.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Malignant pericardial mesothelioma (MPM) is extremely rare, and peritoneal dissemination has not yet been reported. There is no consensus regarding appropriate pharmacological treatment for MPM, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We herein report a 36-year-old man with MPM diagnosed by peritoneal dissemination and treated with an ICI. Cytology of the ascites revealed malignant peritonitis, and a re-evaluation of a pericardial biopsy performed at the previous hospital led to a diagnosis of MPM. The patient was treated with nivolumab and showed a clinical response despite several complications, such as renal dysfunction and performance status deterioration. This case report provides suggestive information for the diagnosis and ICI therapy of a rare type of mesothelioma.
