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.

Abstract

backgroundIntravenous immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown efficacy in treating locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), but concerns about systemic toxicity persist. This study developed a unique approach termed chemo-immuno-embolization with transcatheter rectal arterial intervention (CIETAI), aiming to enhance the anti-tumor response while minimizing systemic toxicity.

methodThis is a prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical trial conducted in Daping hospital. Patients with previously untreated stage II/III LARC underwent preoperative CIETAI combined with PD-1 inhibitor tislelizumab plus oxaliplatin, followed by standard concomitant chemoradiotherapy (capecitabine and 50.4 Gy radiation). Intravenous tislelizumab was administered for an additional two cycles.

resultsBetween January 2023 and December 2023, a total of 38 patients were enrolled. As the primary endpoint, 17 (44.74 %) patients achieved pathological complete response (TRG0), with a major pathologic response (MPR) rate of 65.79 %. The anal preservation rate was 84.21 % (32/38), and importantly, 15 of 21 patients with low rectal cancer achieved organ preservation with functional maintenance. Eight patients experienced grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs). All immune-related AEs were grade 1-2, with the most common being endocrine toxicity (5/6, 83.33 %). No grade 5 AEs occurred.

conclusionThis study provides preliminary evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of intraarterial tislelizumab delivery in the neoadjuvant setting for LARC. These promising results encourage further exploration in larger cohorts to validate the clinical impact of this novel CIETAI strategy.
