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

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynaecological cancer. The combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab has exhibited efficacy as the second line treatment for advanced EC, with a significant benefit in terms of progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival, but the adverse events (AE) profile is complex. AEs associated with the treatment may represent a limitation to this combination. Here, we report the case of a 38-year-old female patient diagnosed with stage IV EC elsewhere, whose disease progressed after the first line of treatment and was referred to a specialised cacncer centre in Muscat, Oman, in 2021. We treated her with the combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab. During the course of the treatment, she developed hand-foot syndrome grade III and hypothyroidism grade II. The AEs were managed with supportive medications, dose interruptions, dose reductions and multidisciplinary care, which allowed the continuation of the treatment. The patient achieved a good partial response and an ongoing PFS of more than 12 months.
