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

In the setting of metastatic adrenocortical cancer, there are limited therapy options such as mitotane and platinum-based chemotherapy with only low response rates. Ipilimumab and nivolumab are approved for several solid cancer types. Tumor mutational burden is one established marker to predict treatment success of immunotherapy and has been associated with improved response rates to immune checkpoint inhibitors. We here present the case of a 68-year-old woman with metastatic adrenocortical cancer and high tumor mutational burden treated with ipilimumab and nivolumab in a fourth-line setting. She showed a stable disease for at least 48 weeks, which is significantly longer than the treatment response to mitotane or platinum-based chemotherapy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first successful use of a long-term two-drug immunotherapy (48 weeks) in a patient with metastatic adrenocortical cancer and high mutational burden. Ipilimumab and nivolumab should be considered as a new therapy option in this patient group.
