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

backgroundRelapsed or refractory extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (R/R NKTCL) remains a highly lethal disease, particularly after failure of PD-1 blockade-based therapy. Preclinical data suggest that inhibition of exportin-1 (XPO1) may enhance antitumor immunity and synergize with PD-1 blockade. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe conducted a multicenter, open-label phase 1b study (TOUCH, Arm C) evaluating selinexor plus tislelizumab in patients with R/R NKTCL previously treated with L-asparaginase-containing regimens. A standard 3 + 3 dose-escalation design was followed by dose expansion.

resultsSeventeen patients were enrolled; 16 had prior checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) exposure and comprised the efficacy population. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed. Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 52.9% of patients; hematologic toxicities were the most common. Among patients with prior CPI exposure, the overall response rate was 75.0% (12/16), including complete responses in 43.8% (7/16). Responses were observed in patients with primary CPI-refractory disease. With a median follow-up of 21.7 months, median progression-free survival was 6.1 months (95% CI, 2.9-not estimable), and the 2-year progression-free survival rate was 37.5%. Median overall survival was not reached; the 2-year overall survival rate was 73.4%.

conclusionSelinexor plus tislelizumab demonstrated manageable toxicity and substantial activity in patients with relapsed/refractory NKTCL previously treated with CPI, supporting further evaluation of nuclear export inhibition as a strategy to re-engage antitumor immunity after failure of PD-1 blockade.
