Phase 4 Multinational Multicenter Retrospective and Prospective Real-World Study of Nivolumab in Recurrent and Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck.
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
This study examined the real-world use of nivolumab in patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M SCCHN). This was a multinational retrospective study (VOLUME) assessing treatment effectiveness and safety outcomes and a prospective study (VOLUME-PRO) assessing HRQoL and patient-reported symptoms. There were 447 and 51 patients in VOLUME and VOLUME-PRO, respectively. Across both studies, the median age was 64.0 years, 80.9% were male, and 52.6% were former smokers. Clinical outcomes of interest included real-world overall survival (rwOS) and real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS). The median rwOS was 9.2 months. Among patients with at least one assessment, 21.7% reported their best response as 'partial response', with 3.9% reporting 'complete response'. The median duration of response (DoR) and median rwPFS were 11.0 months and 3.9 months, respectively. At baseline, VOLUME-PRO patients reported difficulties relating to fatigue, physical and sexual functioning, dyspnea, nausea, sticky saliva, dry mouth, pain/discomfort, mobility, and financial difficulties. There were improvements in social functioning and financial difficulties throughout the study; however, no other clinically meaningful changes were noted. No new safety concerns were identified. This real-world, multinational, multicenter, retrospective and prospective study supports the effectiveness and safety of nivolumab for R/M SCCHN patients.
