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.

Abstract

The clinical benefit of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) remains unclear. This single-arm, phase II study (Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR2200065392) aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibody tislelizumab in combination with chemotherapy in treatment-naïve patients with stage IB3/IIA2 LACC. Enrolled patients received tislelizumab (200 mg, every 3 weeks) plus chemotherapy for 3 cycles before radical surgery. The primary endpoint was the pathological complete response (pCR). Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1, disease-free survival, overall survival, and safety. Exploratory endpoints included tissue-based and blood-based biomarkers to identify the biological drivers behind the clinical outcomes. Between November 2022 and March 2024, 30 patients were enrolled. All patients completed 3 cycles of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy and underwent radical surgery. The pCR was observed in 20 (66.7%) patients, and 4 (13.3%) patients achieved major pathological response (MPR), with an optimal pathological response rate (OPR) of 80.0%. The ORR was 90.0%, with 17 (56.7%) complete responses. Survival data were immature at the median follow-up of 14.7 months (data cutoff, December 31, 2024). Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) and immune-related AEs occurred in 26.7% and 3.3% of patients, respectively. No treatment-related death occurred. Patients with pCR had significantly higher expression of PD-L1 CPS at baseline, and a strong relationship with immune-related signature (all p < 0.05). Neoadjuvant tislelizumab plus chemotherapy showed promising antitumor efficacy and a well-tolerated safety profile in patients with stage IB3/IIA2 LACC, and might be a potential option in this population.
