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

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a "refractory cancer" characterized by rapid growth and extensive early metastasis. About 70% of patients are already in the extensive stage at the time of diagnosis. Despite the high response rate to platinum-contained first-line chemotherapy, almost all patients subsequently experienced inevitable recurrence and had poor response to second-line treatment. The high mutation load and immunogenicity of SCLC suggest that immunotherapy may be effective for SCLC patients. Over the past few years, several clinical trials have evaluated the efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors [mainly cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) inhibitors] in SCLC patients and demonstrated promising survival prospects. This article reviewed the clinical studies of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in the first-line, maintenance and second or more line treatment of SCLC. Besides, predictive biomarkers were discussed to select suitable patients for immunotherapy effectively.
