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

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a therapeutic option for recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer (r/mCC) following platinum-based chemotherapy. However, real-world data on their effectiveness and safety remain limited, particularly in Eastern Europe. This study evaluates the real-world outcomes of ICI monotherapy in pretreated patients with r/mCC. Material and methods: This multicentre retrospective study included 39 patients with r/mCC who received ICI monotherapy (cemiplimab or pembrolizumab) after disease progression on platinum-based chemotherapy in 5 reference centres in Poland. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate, and disease control rate (DCR). The secondary endpoint was treatment safety. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used for survival analysis, and Cox proportional hazards models assessed prognostic factors, with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: After a median follow-up of 8.8 months, the median PFS was 5.7 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.9-6.4), and the median OS was 10.9 months (95% CI: 7.3-14.5). The objective response rate was 23% ( Conclusions: Immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy demonstrated modest efficacy in pretreated patients with r/mCC, with a manageable safety profile and irAEs of predictive significance for PFS.
