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

backgroundCadonilimab is a humanized immunoglobulin G1 bispecific antibody targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4). This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) combined with cadonilimab in patients with advanced recurrent or refractory solid tumors.

methodsPatients with advanced solid tumors who progressed after at least two lines of systemic treatment, including immunotherapy, and were eligible for SBRT were enrolled. SBRT was administered to patients with high-burden/symptomatic lesions in combination with intravenous cadonilimab (6 mg/kg, once every 2 weeks). The primary endpoint was safety.

resultsSixty-three patients were enrolled from August 28, 2022, to September 14, 2023 (median follow-up: 9.1 months). The median prior treatment line was 3.0 (range 2.0-4.0). Approximately 46.0% (29/63) of patients had received prior PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, 36.5% (23/63) and 12.7% (8/63) of patients had non-small cell lung cancer and soft tissue sarcoma. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 38.1% (24/63) of patients, with grade 3 TRAEs reported in 3.2% (2/63). The most common TRAEs included pain (12.7%), elevated transaminases (12.7%), pneumonia (6.4%), fatigue (6.4%), nausea (4.8%), and fever (4.8%). The objective response rate (ORR) was 23.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 14.0%-36.2%). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 7.2 months (95% CI, 6.3-8.2 months), and the median overall survival (OS) was 10.0 months (95% CI, 7.7-12.4 months). The 6-month and 12-month local control rates were 98.4% and 93.0%, respectively. In a subgroup analysis of 23 non-small cell lung cancer patients, the ORR was 17.4% (95% CI, 5.0%-38.8%), the median PFS was 6.9 months (95% CI, 4.7-9.1 months), and the median OS was 9.1 months (95% CI, 7.3-10.9 months). Multivariate analysis indicated that receiving ≥6 cycles of cadonilimab and having an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 0-1 were significantly associated with improved PFS and OS (P < 0.05).

conclusionsSBRT in combination with cadonilimab demonstrated manageable toxicity and promising efficacy in heavily pretreated patients with refractory solid tumors.
