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

Evaluation of survival outcomes and response rates among patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treated with checkpoint inhibitors is of interest. Data regarding overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS), response rate, PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) was retrieved. A total of 412 patients with histo-pathologically confirmed recurrent or metastatic HNSCC who received checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) treatment were ultimately included as members of the cohort. The median overall survival was 13.1 months. Median PFS was 4.1 months. The estimated 1-year overall survival was 53.9% while estimated 1-year PFS was 9.7%. Thus, the use of CPI therapies for first - or second-line treatment of recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is shown.
