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

objectiveTo assess the efficacy of pirfenidone combined with PD-L1 inhibitor for treatment of bladder cancer in a mouse model and its effect on tumor immune microenvironment modulation.

methodsForty C57BL/6 mouse models bearing ectopic human bladder cancer xenografts were randomized into control group, PD-L1 inhibitor group, pirfenidone group and combined treatment group (

resultsTreatment with PD-L1 inhibitor and pirfenidone alone both significantly decreased tumor growth rate and tumor volume at 21 days (

conclusionCombined treatment with pirfenidone and PD-L1 inhibitor significantly inhibits the progression of bladder cancer in mice possibly by regulating tumor immune microenvironment and inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition of the tumor cells.
