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

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains a challenging malignancy to treat, with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) revolutionizing patient management. This pilot study, evaluated the efficacy and safety of combination therapy comprising camrelizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, and autologous cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cell therapy in patients with refractory ccRCC. Twenty-one patients with refractory ccRCC were randomly assigned to receive either camrelizumab monotherapy (control group, n = 12) or camrelizumab combined with CIK cell re-transfusion (trial group, n = 9). Due to early termination (21 of 60 planned patients), all endpoints were exploratory. The objective response rate (ORR) was numerically higher in the combination group (55.6% vs. 41.7%; odds ratio 1.75, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.32-9.51), but not statistically significant. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 28.5 vs. 8.67 months (hazard ratio [HR] 0.40, 95% CI: 0.12-1.34), and median overall survival (OS) was not reached vs. 57.47 months (HR 0.48, 95% CI: 0.09-2.53). One patient in the trial group achieved a complete metabolic response (CMR). The combination was well-tolerated without new safety signals. Exploratory analysis suggested that higher baseline PD-1 expression on CD8
