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

Objective: To evaluate the real-world efficacy and safety of cadonilimab (a bispecific antibody targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4) in combination with chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab for cervical cancer and to identify potential biomarkers. Methods: This preliminary report analyzes the first 51 consecutive patients from a protocol-driven observational cohort initiating cadonilimab (≥2 cycles) between June 2022 and August 2025. The treatment regimens were: cadonilimab + chemotherapy + bevacizumab (n=22), cadonilimab + chemotherapy (n=24), or cadonilimab alone (n=5). Standardized data collection included clinicopathological variables, peripheral blood biomarkers, and protocol-defined tumor assessments (RECIST v1.1 every 6 weeks). Interim efficacy endpoints (objective response rate [ORR], disease control rate [DCR], median progression-free survival [mPFS]) and safety (CTCAE v5.0) were evaluated, with multivariate analyses to identify predictive factors. Interim results: The median follow-up was 11.0 months. At the first tumor evaluation timepoint after completing two treatment cycles, 15 patients achieved complete response (CR), 22 patients achieved partial response (PR), and 9 patients achieved stable disease (SD), with an ORR of 72.5% and a DCR of 90.2%. At the data cutoff date (December 2025), the median PFS was 7.0 months (IQR: 4.0-10.0) and the DCR was 37.3% (19/51). Multivariable analysis revealed that squamous cell carcinoma histology (OR = 4.471, 95% CI = 1.037-21.699; P = 0.045) and baseline IL-6 levels ≤5.4 pg/mL (OR = 4.494, 95% CI = 1.089-18.541; P = 0.038) were independently associated with higher odds of achieving an objective response. Regarding safety, hematologic toxicities were the most common (74.5%), which may be related to the chemotherapeutic agents used in the combination therapy. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) included liver function abnormalities in 39.2% of patients and skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders in 23.5% of patients. Analysis of immune-related dermal toxicity identified that a baseline Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) ≥660 (OR = 8.742, 95% CI = 1.372-55.648, P = 0.022) and CD4 Conclusions: In this real-world cohort, cadonilimab showed promising early efficacy and a manageable safety profile in cervical cancer. Identified biomarkers for response and immune-related dermal toxicity require validation in larger, prospective studies with longer follow-up.
