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

Penile cancer is a rare malignant tumor with a poor prognosis in advanced stages. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated promising efficacy in patients with advanced penile cancer, but it can also induce immune-related adverse events (irAEs). This article reports a patient who achieved almost a complete response to the PD-1 inhibitor sintilimab as third-line treatment for advanced penile squamous cell cancer with massive ulceration of chemoradiotherapy-resistant, and successful treatment by immunotherapy. One year into maintenance therapy with sintilimab, skin toxicity in the form or grade-2 skin rashes and grade-3 pruritus occurred. Sintilimab was permanently discontinued. The skin toxicity was effectively controlled by oral prednisone at a daily dosage of 15 mg. At the last follow-up of 16 months after sintilimab discontinuation, the patient remained in partial response, with total progression-free survival exceeding 30 months. We also conducted a comprehensive literature search, and summarized skin toxicity of ICIs administration. These articles suggested that immune-related skin toxicity may be indicative of good treatment response.
