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

Background: Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH) is an exceedingly rare vascular tumor, presenting a significant challenge due to its limited treatment options. Immunotherapy in combination with chemotherapy emerges as a potential frontier, yet the understanding of its application in PEH remains in its infancy. Methods: A male patient initially faced misdiagnosis as having aspergillosis. Through histopathology and immunohistochemistry, a definitive diagnosis of PEH was later established. The treatment journey involved surgical resection, followed by chemotherapy with albumin-bound paclitaxel and carboplatin, and finally immunotherapy with sintilimab. Results: A remarkable radiological improvement was observed post-sintilimab administration, leading to disease stabilization. Significantly, this is the first-ever report of the efficacy of sintilimab in PD-L1-high PEH, filling a critical gap in the existing literature. Conclusion: This case not only underscores the potential of sintilimab in PD-L1-high PEH but also sets a precedent for further exploration of immune checkpoint inhibitors in this rare disease.
