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

introductionFollowing the positive findings of the phase 3 CheckMate 238 trial, adjuvant nivolumab has become a standard therapy in patients with completely resected stage III-IV melanoma. The prospective, ongoing AdjuMel study is evaluating the real-world use, effectiveness, and safety of adjuvant nivolumab in patients with resected melanoma in France. Here we report 2-year results from the third interim analysis of AdjuMel.

methodsThis observational, prospective study is evaluating data from patients with resected stage III-IV melanoma treated with adjuvant nivolumab in France. Study outcomes include effectiveness, safety, and treatment patterns of anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1, nivolumab) under routine clinical practice in the adjuvant setting. The primary endpoint was relapse-free survival (RFS). This third interim analysis (data cut-off: 3 November 2023) included patients with ≥ 1 follow-up visit, using data collected up to the 24-month visit.

resultsOverall, 343 patients (median [range] age 65 [27-95] years; 57.7% male; 41.7% BRAF-mutation positive) were evaluable in this interim analysis, with a median (range) follow-up of 23.4 (2.1-27.3) months. At treatment initiation, 86.8% and 13.2% of patients had stage III and IV disease, respectively. The 2-year RFS rate was 52.8% (95% confidence interval 47.0-58.2). The risk of recurrence or death was lower in patients with stage IIIA disease versus IIIB-D (hazard ratio [HR] 0.43) and in those aged < 75 versus ≥ 75 years (HR 0.56), and higher in patients with versus without tumor ulceration (HR 1.99). The safety profile of adjuvant nivolumab was consistent with that reported in CheckMate 238, and patient quality of life did not appear to be adversely affected.

conclusionsThese real-world data are in line with those reported in randomized clinical trials, despite the broader inclusion criteria of the study population.
