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

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the main pathological type among lung cancers, and it is often diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease when it is no longer amenable to curative treatments. During recent decades, the survival rate for lung cancer patients has improved significantly in only those whose tumours harbour a driver mutation. Immune checkpoint inhibition is a promising therapeutic strategy for lung cancer. The Keynote 024 is randomized, open-label, international, phase III study to evaluate the efficacy of pembrolizumab, an antibody directed to programmed death 1 (PD-1), an immune checkpoint inhibitor, compared with platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated advanced NSCLC and PD-L1 expression in at least 50% of the tumour cells. Pembrolizumab treatment achieved statistically significant clinical benefits in terms of progression free survival, overall survival and objective responses. The high quality of data and the novelty of the information obtained created the conditions for a new standard of care driven by the expression of PD-L1.
