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

In advanced lung adenocarcinoma with metastases, the current standard of care does not in principle include aggressive cancer treatment with surgery and radiotherapy. Therefore, when chemotherapy cannot be continued, the patient is generally switched to palliative care. Our patient with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma in his 60s was receiving chemotherapy, which had to be discontinued due to severe side effects. As standard treatment was no longer indicated, he underwent radioimmunotherapy combined with WT1 dendritic cell vaccine therapy. As a result, the massive lung cancer shrank significantly and blood tests showed an improved immune profile. The growth of the lung cancer was suppressed, and the patient is completely symptom-free. After completing radioimmunotherapy, the patient continues to live a life similar to that of a healthy person. This case suggests that radioimmunotherapy can be useful as an active treatment in patients who are not eligible for standard treatment.
