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

backgroundSome genetically characterized patients show the rapid disease progression during immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) monotherapy, a phenomenon known as hyperprogressive disease (HPD). CASE PRESENTATION: Herein we report a relevant case of biliary tract cancer (BTC) that initially responded to gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin (GEMOX) and PD-1 blockade but subsequently developed HPD in the process of PD-1 blockade maintenance therapy, leading to death within two weeks. Genomic analysis revealed mutations in CDKN2A, PIK3CA, KRAS and EPHA2 in both baseline and hyperprogressive plasma and tumor samples. Notably, higher KRAS mutation abundance was observed in plasma and ascites after disease progression.

conclusionsThese findings suggest a potential association between these negative genes especially KRAS mutation and HPD. Therefore, administration of PD-1 blockade monotherapy in this subgroup of patients harboring KRAS mutation should be performed with caution. Further studies are warranted to confirm these results and explore the correlation between genomic mutations and HPD.
