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

introductionCurrently, no established guidelines exist for dosing chemotherapy or immunotherapy in patients with achondroplasia. CASE: A 69-year old female with congenital achondroplasia was diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung carcinoma type adenocarcinoma, with high Tumor Mutational Burden and 20% programmed death-ligand 1 expression. The patient received carboplatin dose based on renal function utilizing measured creatinine clearance, pemetrexed based on body surface area and pembrolizumab at a fixed dose of 100mg for body weight <65 kg. The doses of carboplatin and pemetrexed were adjusted after the first cycle based on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). The treatment was generally well tolerated, with the exception of grade 2 neutropenia, which resolved after a one-week delay of the third treatment cycle. A favorable clinical response was achieved after four treatment cycles.

conclusionGiven the uncertainty regarding the accuracy of dosing algorithms in patients with congenital achondroplasia, TDM may support dose optimization and attainment of adequate drug exposure.
