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

backgroundThe poor overall survival of osteosarcoma (OS) underscores the need to explore new therapeutic avenues. Tumor necrosis rate (TNR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy predicts prognosis.

aimsThe study was to investigate safety and activity of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with camrelizumab (a humanized antibody against PD-1) in patients with resectable OS. MATERIALS &

methodsWe conducted a prospective, single-arm, exploratory phase II trial in OS patients. Eligible patients received camrelizumab combined with doxorubicin or liposomal doxorubicin, cisplatin, methotrexate, ifosfamide with mesna. Surgery was performed 12-14 days after neoadjuvant therapy and adjuvant therapy starting 2-3 weeks postoperatively. The primary endpoint was the rate of good tumor necrosis (TNR ≥90%) after neoadjuvant therapy, and the secondary outcomes were safety, 2-year progression free survival and 2-year overall survival.

resultsSeventy-five patients were recruited to the study. Subsequently, 64 patients completed neoadjuvant therapy and underwent surgery. Thirty-one patients (48.4%) have a good TNR to neoadjuvant therapy. With a median follow-up of 22.4 months (range 2.2-44.9 months), the estimated 2-year PFS was 69.6% and the estimated 2-year overall survival was 89.4%. Grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events were noticed in 62.7% of the patients. Frequent grade 3 or 4 adverse events were decreased platelet count (45.3%), decreased white blood cell count (36%). No immune-related serious adverse events were observed. DISCUSSION: Our study had limitations. First, it was limited by its non-randomized design. Besides, stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes was comprehensively analyzed in this study.

conclusionsThis study demonstrated that amrelizumab combined with adriamycin, cisplatin, methotrexate, and ifosfamide in the neoadjuvant treatment of resectable OS was safe and tolerable. This combined therapeutic strategy may not increase TNR, but the long-term survival benefit remains to be followed up.
