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

purposeBoth venous and arterial thrombotic events (VTE/AT) can be associated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI). However, there is a paucity of information apropos patients in routine clinical practice.

methods/Patients. This retrospective, multicenter study was promoted by the Thrombosis and Cancer Section of the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM). Individuals with head and neck cancer who initiated ICI between 01/01/2015 and 31/12/2021 were recruited. Minimum follow-up was 6 months (except in cases of demise). The primary objective was to calculate the incidence of ICI-associated VTE/AT, with secondary objectives including the analysis of their impact on survival and the identification of variables predictive of VTE/AT.

resultsA total of 143 patients with head and neck cancer were enrolled. The incidence of VTE/AT during follow-up (median 8.6 months) was 2.8%. Survival analysis showed no significant differences (p = 0.644) between the group that developed VTE/AT (median 7.13 months, 95% CI 0-22.9) and the group that did not (median 9.86 months, 95% CI 6.3-13.4). The presence of liver metastases was predictive of VTE/AT (p < 0.05).

conclusionsThromboembolic disease associated with immunotherapy in patients with head and neck neoplasia does not significantly impact survival. The presence of liver metastases can predict these events.
