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

WT1-pulsed dendritic cell (WT1-DC) therapy was performed for end-stage squamous cell lung cancer that rapidly worsened soon after completion of carboplatin and paclitaxel. A rapid improvement in immune profile was observed with the initiation of WT1-DC. Docetaxel and ramucirumab were initiated as second-line agents during WT1-DC. The improvement of the immune profile status continued, and at the same time, the cancer showed a predominant shrinkage. Progression-free survival was over 577 days, and the patient was able to lead a normal daily life with a performance status of 1. These findings suggest that WT1-DC improves the immune profile, and this may contribute to the long-lasting and sustained effect of chemotherapy.
