Safety of First-Line Nivolumab Plus Ipilimumab in Very Old (≥ 80 Years) Patients With Unresectable Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: A Retrospective Single-Center Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Nivolumab plus ipilimumab as the first-line treatment results in superior survival outcomes in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). However, its safety in old (≥ 80 years) patients with MPM has not been elucidated yet. Three male patients with MPM, aged 80-90 years, were treated with nivolumab plus ipilimumab as the first-line treatment in our hospital. All of them discontinued the treatment due to adverse events. The overall survival from treatment initiation was 2.5, 3.5, and 4.0 months, respectively. Nivolumab plus ipilimumab should be used cautiously in very old patients with MPM.
