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

backgroundNumerous case series have corroborated the efficacy of the first-line approach of platinum-based chemotherapy and avelumab maintenance followed by enfortumab vedotin monotherapy (PBC-AM-EV) in real-world patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma.

objectiveThe present investigation aimed to characterize the baseline clinical and pathological characteristics and outcomes of the PBC-AM-EV treatment sequence in the advanced urothelial carcinoma population.

methodsARON-2

resultsFollowing a median follow-up of 23.1 months, the median overall survival from PBC initiation was 31.6 months, with a 2-year overall survival rate of 68%. Survival outcomes were consistent across most clinicopathologic subgroups, but were significantly influenced by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, prior response to PBC, and cisplatin-based regimens. Median therapy sequence duration was 26.5 months and was prolonged in patients with exclusive nodal metastases and cisplatin exposure. A 43% objective response rate was achieved by EV, including durable disease control, particularly among patients who benefited from prior PBC and avelumab maintenance.

conclusionsThe PBC-AM-EV sequence demonstrates sustained real-world efficacy, with outcomes driven by baseline characteristics, platinum responsiveness, and preserved EV activity irrespective of prior immunotherapy response.
