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: Radical cystectomy (RC) combined with pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is the standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). For metastatic MIBC patients, platinum-based chemotherapy remains the first choice treatment. However, approximately 50% of patients with metastatic MIBC are ineligible for platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy because of impaired renal function. In programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive patients who cannot tolerate platinum-based chemotherapy, immunotherapy is recommended. Thus, a major shift is taking place in the treatment of patients with metastatic MIBC. There is currently much interest in the use of chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy and maintenance immunotherapy for the treatment of metastatic MIBC. Case presentation: One patient with metastatic MIBC exhibited promising progression-free survival (PFS) and safety and had good renal function after RC and toripalimab combined with chemotherapy plus toripalimab maintenance therapy. Conclusion: RC plus adjuvant therapy (toripalimab combined with chemotherapy) plus toripalimab maintenance therapy is a potential treatment option for metastatic MIBC patients who want to prolong their life. Moreover, a high tumor proportion score (TPS) of PD-L1 expression as well as CDKN2A and TP53 mutation levels may predict immunotherapy efficacy and patient prognosis.
