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

Background: Undifferentiated small round-cell sarcomas (uSRCSs) are a subgroup of sarcomas that are difficult to diagnose. Some uSRCSs have specific gene re-arrangements, but others do not. Currently, there is no specific treatments for advanced uSRCSs, and its treatment is largely based on general experience with sarcomas, which includes chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. In this article, we report a patient with uSRCS who responded to treatment with anti-VEGF inhibitor surufatinib and anti-PD-1 inhibitor camrelizumab after progression on first-line chemotherapy, second-line anlotinib combined with immunotherapy, and third-line chemotherapy. Case description: In July 2020, a 37-year-old female patient was diagnosed with advanced uSRCS. Results for the Ewing sarcoma RNA binding protein 1 and Wilms tumor suppressor (EWSR1/WT1) fusion gene were negative. The patient was also negative with BCOR (BCL6 co-repressor) and CIC (capicua transcriptional repressor) fusion gene. The next-generation sequencing results revealed point mutations on Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-Bisphosphate 3-Kinase Catalytic Subunit Beta (PIK3CB), Transcription Factor Binding To IGHM Enhancer 3 (TFE3), Mucin 16 (MUC16), and AXL (Axl, also called UFO, ARK, and Tyro7, is part of a family of receptor tyrosine kinases). The patient received 4 cycles of the Ifosfamide and epirubicin hydrochloride regimen, and her best objective response was stable disease. On November 3, 2020, a computed tomography (CT) scan revealed progressive disease (PD). Two cycles of camrelizumab (a programmed death-1 inhibitor) plus anlotinib (an anti- vascular endothelial growth factor drug) were administered, but PD was again observed. Thus, a regimen of gemcitabine plus docetaxel was adopted. Unfortunately, the disease progressed once again after two cycles of the treatment. On February 4, 2021, the patient began to receive targeted therapy with surufatinib combined with camrelizumab. A CT scan showed that the tumor achieved a partial response. As of April 2023, the patient had a progression-free survival time of 26 months. Conclusions: Surufatinib in combination with camrelizumab could be effective in the treatment of advanced uSRCSs.
