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

Combination treatment with an anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibody, an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), and chemotherapy is the standard treatment for patients with HER2-negative advanced gastric/esophagogastric cancer (AGC). ICI re-administration has been reported to have a clinical benefit for patients with lung cancer or melanoma. However, data on patients with AGC have not yet been collected. We plan to conduct a prospective, multicenter, observational NIVO RETURNS study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nivolumab monotherapy re-administration in patients with AGC refractory to initial anti-PD-1 or anti-programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) antibody treatment. Patients who have achieved clinical benefits (complete response, partial response, or stable disease for ≥ 6 months) from prior treatment, including anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, will be included. The primary endpoint will be the objective response rate to nivolumab re-administration. We anticipate that our findings will contribute to the improvement of survival outcomes as later-line treatment for AGC.
