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

Background: Nuclear protein in testis (NUT) cancers, also known as midline cancers, tends to occur in organs near the midline, such as the nasal sinuses and mediastinum. NUT carcinoma is very rare and has a poor prognosis. Case description: We report the case of a 44-year-old female patient with sinonasal NUT carcinoma who presented with a soft tissue mass in the left frontal sinus, ethmoid sinus, and left nasal cavity on computed tomography; the tumor was poorly demarcated from the left rectus medialis. After discussion with a multidisciplinary team with expertise on head and neck tumors, the patient was considered inoperable, and definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) was recommended. The patient underwent CCRT followed by three cycles of consolidation chemotherapy with albumin-bound paclitaxel and nedaplatin. Subsequently, the patient underwent 16 cycles of consolidation therapy with the programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor tislelizumab. The immune-related adverse events included grade 2 hypothyroidism. After CCRT, consolidation chemotherapy, and consolidation immunotherapy, the patient achieved a favorable outcome. The patient survived for 31 months, and there were no signs of recurrence or metastasis during follow-up. Conclusion: At present, there is no clear consensus on the consolidation treatment plan after CCRT for sinonasal NUT cancer. We used consolidation immunotherapy for the first time and achieved good efficacy, providing an innovative and promising treatment plan for refractory sinonasal NUT cancer.
