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

purposeImmunotherapy for frontline mismatch repair-deficient/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is effective; however, nearly half of the patients treated with single-agent PD-1 therapy will progress within 12 months. Preclinical studies in CRC and clinical data from other cancers suggest that vascular endothelial growth factor inhibition and chemotherapy can synergize with PD-L1 inhibition.

methodsThe NRG-GI004/SWOG-S1610 (COMMIT) three-arm prospective phase III open-label trial randomly assigned first-line dMMR/MSI-H mCRC patients (1:1:1) to either: mFOLFOX6 (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m², leucovorin 400 mg/m², 5-FU bolus 400 mg/m², and 46-hour infusional 5-FU 2,400 mg/m²)/bevacizumab (FFX/bev), or atezolizumab (atezo) monotherapy (840 mg IV once every 2 weeks), or the combination of FFX/bev/atezo. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) in the intent-to-treat population. Because of KEYNOTE 177 results, the FFX/bev arm was closed after 20 patients were enrolled. The study continued with atezo alone versus FFX/bev/atezo, with a revised sample size of 100 patients in the two remaining arms (120 patients across all three arms).

resultsFrom November 2017 to March 2025, a total of 102 patients were enrolled in the three arms: FFX/bev: n = 20, atezo: n = 41, and FFX/bev/atezo: n = 41. At a median follow-up of 46 months for the two arms (median age: 63.3 years; 47.6% female; 23.2%

conclusionThe combination of FFX/bev plus atezo led to significantly longer PFS compared with atezo monotherapy in the first-line treatment of dMMR/MSI-H mCRC.
