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

backgroundThe combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors and anti-angiogenic agents has been proposed as a promising strategy to improve the outcome of advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, further investigation is warranted to elucidate the specific mechanisms underlying the effects of combination therapy and its potential as neoadjuvant therapy for early-stage TNBC.

methodsIn this study, we constructed humanized mouse models by engrafting the human immune system into severely immunodeficient mice and subsequently implanting TNBC cells into the model. The mice were treated with neoadjuvant combination therapy (bevacizumab combined with nivolumab), followed by in vivo imaging system to assess tumor recurrence and metastasis after surgery. The immune microenvironment of tumors was analyzed to investigate the potential mechanisms. Furthermore, we verified the impact of extending the interval before surgery or administering adjuvant therapy after neoadjuvant therapy on the prognosis of mice.

resultsNeoadjuvant combination therapy significantly inhibited tumor growth, prevented recurrence and metastasis by normalizing tumor vessels and inducing robust CD8

conclusionThe preclinical study has demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy and mechanism of neoadjuvant combination therapy (nivolumab plus bevacizumab) in treating early TNBC.
