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

Patients with advanced melanoma who progress on standard-dose ipilimumab (Ipi) + nivolumab continue to have poor prognosis. Studies support a dose-response activity of Ipi, and one promising combination is Ipi 10 mg/kg (Ipi10) + temozolomide (TMZ). We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of patients with advanced melanoma treated with Ipi10 + TMZ in the immunotherapy refractory/resistant setting (n = 6, all progressed after prior Ipi + nivolumab), using similar patients treated with Ipi3 + TMZ (n = 6) as comparison. Molecular profiling by whole-exome sequencing (WES) and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of tumors harvested through one responder's treatment was performed. With a median follow up of 119 days, patients treated with Ipi10 + TMZ had a statistically significant longer median progression-free survival of 144.5 days (range 27-219) vs. 44 (26-75) in Ipi 3 mg/kg (Ipi3) + TMZ,
