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

Introduction: Chemotherapy plus immunotherapy is the standard treatment worldwide for advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma with high programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) expression. The use of immunotherapy alone against advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma is rarely reported, and data on PD-1 inhibitor camrelizumab are missing. We report the first case of camrelizumab monotherapy, which can be a reference for the clinical applications of camrelizumab in a wider context. Case Presentation: We herein present a 69-year-old male case of advanced squamous cell carcinoma with low PD-1 expression, in which camrelizumab monotherapy was administered every 3 weeks. Camrelizumab monotherapy reversed advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma without recurrence or obvious side effects during 26 months of follow-up. The patient is alive and in good conditions to date; thus, progression-free survival and overall survival are not determined. Conclusion: This case report provides evidence of the efficacy of camrelizumab monotherapy and highlights the feasibility of camrelizumab alone against advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma when chemotherapy is not applicable.
