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

Several studies have evaluated PD-1 inhibitors plus chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but comparative data with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) remain limited. This multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase 2 non-inferiority trial (REVO, NCT05007145) assessed the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant camrelizumab plus chemotherapy (ICT) versus CRT in patients with resectable, locally advanced ESCC. A total of 104 patients were randomized to ICT (camrelizumab, nab-paclitaxel, cisplatin) or CRT (nab-paclitaxel, cisplatin, radiotherapy). The primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR). ICT achieved a pCR rate of 32.7% versus 34.6% with CRT (rate ratio 0.94, 90% CI 0.6-1.49), demonstrating non-inferiority and meeting the pre-specified primary endpoint. Major pathologic response was observed in 42.3% of ICT patients and 57.7% of CRT patients, with R0 resection achieved in 100% of both groups. 1-year disease-free survival was 89.1% versus 78.2%, and 1-year overall survival was 100% versus 92.3% for ICT and CRT, respectively. Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 19.2% of ICT patients and 33.3% of CRT patients, and surgical complications were reported in 31.1% and 35.9%, respectively. These findings indicate that ICT is a safe and effective neoadjuvant strategy for resectable ESCC with a more favorable safety profile.
