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

Nuclear protein of the testis (NUT) carcinoma (NC) is a rare but highly aggressive disease, characterized by drug resistance and poor prognosis. This report describes the case of a 32-year-old male patient diagnosed to have pulmonary NC; the tumor exhibited positive immunohistochemical staining of NUT and showed rearrangement of BRD4::NUT midline carcinoma family member 1 (NUTM1). After two treatment cycles of chemotherapy (etoposide plus carboplatin) combined with the PD-1 inhibitor sintilimab, the thoracic lesion of the patient disappeared, resulting in a partial response. When the patient's disease progressed even after the targeted therapy with a bromodomain and extra-terminal motif (BET) inhibitor, sintilimab was readministered in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy. However, the disease rapidly progressed after only one treatment cycle. Notably, the disease showed
