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

Germ cell tumors (GCTs) represent about 5% of urological cancers affecting mostly younger males with increasing incidence in the last decades. GCTs are very sensitive to cisplatin-based therapy and are highly curable regardless of metastatic stage, likely based on having inherited unique mechanisms of sensitivity to DNA damage and other stressors to prevent germline mutations. Here, we present the first case of a 60-year Caucasian male with a heavily pretreated, cisplatin-refractory extragonadal non-seminomatous GCT (choriocarcinoma) treated with pembrolizumab and olaparib based on high programmed death-ligand 1 expression (tumor proportion score 50% and a combined positive score 55%) high tumor mutational burden, borderline genomic loss of heterozygosity, and a heterozygous variant of uncertain significance in the DNA repair gene
