Immune repertoire sequencing reveals differences in treatment response to camrelizumab plus platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced ESCC.

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
This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy (taxanes [T] or fluorouracil agents [F] plus platinum [P] drugs) as the first-line treatment in advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), using immune repertoire sequencing (IRS) to explore treatment response mechanism. In this multi-center, prospective cohort study, 88 patients received camrelizumab plus TP or FP, achieving a 1-year progression-free survival of 56.8% and overall survival of 68.2%. The objective response rate (ORR) was 64.8%, with a disease control rate of 91.1%. While most treatment-related adverse events were mild, 12.5% of patients experienced grade ≥3 toxicities. IRS showed significant differences in T-cell receptor (TCR) β-chain and immunoglobulin heavy chain between patients with (ORR group) or without ORR (non-ORR group), particularly in the distribution and expression of some genes. Specifically, we found the significant differences in the amino acid composition of complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) polypeptide sequences in TCR and B-cell receptor (BCR) between the ORR and non-ORR groups. For TCR, we observed substantial oligoclonal enrichment and differences in the abundance of specific V and J genes. Similarly, for BCR, we detected differences in the clonotype abundance of CDR3 polypeptide segments and identified several differential V genes. Camrelizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy is effective and well-tolerated as the first-line treatment for ESCC, and IRS may reveal mechanism influencing treatment response.
