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

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have improved the prognosis of patients with cutaneous melanoma. Immunotherapy (IT) is generally well tolerated, but an increasing area of investigation concerns the optimal treatment duration of anti-programmed cell death-1 (anti-PD1) regimens to limit the immune-related adverse events in patients who obtained a clinical response. Another point of interest is the impact of the early discontinuation of ICIs on the maintenance of response in terms of survival in patients developing grade 3-4 adverse events that mostly occur in those receiving the combo-IT. Currently, we are still far from having final conclusions on these topics and, thus, the present review aims to describe the recent data about the optimal treatment duration and the maintenance of response in the case of early discontinuation. In this context, we include data on the real life of patients from our Medical Oncology Center who discontinued anti-PD1 after at least a stable disease or those interrupting the combo-IT due to adverse events.
