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

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is extremely rare, but has a very good prognosis, with a cure rate close to 100%, for low-risk diseases. This article describes the case of a healthy 28-year-old nulliparous patient with GTN resistant to multiple lines of treatment. The era of immunotherapy is revolutionizing oncology, having already proved its worth in the treatment of many cancers. This article will have a specific focus on the emerging role of immunotherapy in the treatment of GTN. Unfortunately, the use of an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) failed in our case, emphasizing on the necessity to clearly define the future role of immune therapy in GTN. Finally, given the rapid progression of the disease after hysterectomy, induction with Paclitaxel- Ifosfamide and then intensification with high-dose Carboplatin and Etoposide with peripheral blood stem cell support was given as a rescue therapy with still curative intent.
