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.

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.

Abstract

Patients with locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) have poor outcomes with standard care. Neoadjuvant therapy is shown to be effective for these patients. In the randomized, two-arm, phase 2, non-comparative trial, we investigate the efficacy and safety of the neoadjuvant programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) inhibitor camrelizumab with or without docetaxel-cisplatin-5-fluorouracil (TPF) chemotherapy in patients with resectable locally advanced OSCC. Patients with stage III-IVA OSCC receive neoadjuvant therapy with three cycles of camrelizumab (arm Cam) with or without two cycles of TPF chemotherapy (arm Cam+TPF), followed by surgery and adjuvant therapy. Major pathological response (MPR) is achieved in both arm Cam (5/34, 14.7%) and arm Cam+TPF (26/34, 76.4%). With a median follow-up of 32 months, the 2-year event-free survival (EFS) rate of arm Cam and Cam+TPF is 52.9% and 91.2%, respectively. This work demonstrates feasibility and safety for immunochemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting for OSCC. This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04649476).
