Pembrolizumab as an effective treatment for diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma with long‑term survival: A case report and literature review.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Primary diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPEM) is a malignant disease without standard treatments recommended. Recently, immunotherapy has revolutionized the field of tumor therapy. According to current clinical evidence, advanced MPEM may gain potential clinical benefits from immune checkpoint inhibitors. The present study reported a 61-year-old female patient with persistent low fever as the initial symptom, who was eventually diagnosed with MPEM. This patient obtained significant clinical benefits from pembrolizumab, with disappearance of symptoms, a lasting stable disease response with a progression-free survival of 10.0 months and a long overall survival of 26.2 months. The application of pembrolizumab was explored as an emerging effective treatment for patients with MPEM. In addition, the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, pathogenesis and target regulation in MPEM were discussed and previous studies were reviewed. Further evidence is needed from future extensive clinical trials.
