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

backgroundCurrently, several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been conducted to investigate the efficacy of combining immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) with chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer; however, the optimal treatment strategy remains undetermined.

methodsA comprehensive search of online databases was conducted to identify RCTs published until December 31, 2023. Network meta-analysis was performed to evaluate PFS, OS, TRAEs, irAEs, and the ranking of different treatment regimens.

resultsA total of 2702 patients from five RCTs (six reports) were included in the analysis. The combination therapy of ICIs significantly prolonged PFS (HR = 0.69, 95%CI 0.63-0.76, p < 0.0001) and OS (HR = 0.73, 95%CI 0.63-0.85, p < 0.0001) in the overall population. Among the different ICIs combinations evaluated, Durva-Olap-CP exhibited superior efficacy for both PFS and OS outcomes. In the pMMR population, both Durva-Olap-CP and Pembro-CP significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death compared to Avelu-CP and Atezo-CP treatments; however, no significant differences were observed among various ICI combination therapies in patients with dMMR. In the dMMR population, Dostar-CP demonstrates a 42.2% probability of achieving first rank in terms of PFS, whereas in the pMMR population, Pembro-CP exhibits a 60% likelihood of securing the top position. Importantly, the toxicity associated with ICIs combination therapy was manageable and well-tolerated.

conclusionsThe combination of ICIs and chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer has demonstrated superior survival outcomes compared to chemotherapy alone. Durva-Olap-CP exhibited the most favorable PFS and OS benefits in the overall population. In patients with dMMR, Dostar-CP showed the greatest improvement in PFS, while Pembro-CP demonstrated the most pronounced PFS benefit in patients with pMMR.
