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

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab, a PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody, in combination with chemoradiotherapy for a patient with microsatellite stable/mismatch repair proficient (MSS/pMMR) locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), and to analyze the mechanism of achieving short-term clinical complete response (cCR). Methods: This case report presents a 61-year-old male with stage cT3N2aM0 IIIB MSS/pMMR rectal cancer. The patient received neoadjuvant therapy with Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab (300mg per dose) plus XELOX regimen chemotherapy and radiotherapy (45Gy/25F). Responses were regularly assessed via digital rectal examination, imaging, endoscopy, and pathology. Results: After treatment, clinical complete response (cCR) was initially evidenced by MRI at week 12 and subsequently confirmed by endoscopic assessment combined with pathologic biopsy at week 20. No grade 3 or higher immune-related adverse events occurred. At the last follow-up in March 2026, no recurrence was observed. Conclusion: This case suggests that Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab combined with chemoradiotherapy may induce rapid cCR in MSS/pMMR LARC, offering a promising organ-preserving strategy through immunotherapy. Further large-sample studies are warranted.
