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

backgroundProgrammed death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor monotherapy has been approved as second-line or later therapy in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor monotherapy as second-line or later therapy in advanced NSCLC.

methodsThe clinical data of patients with advanced NSCLC who received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors as second-line or later line therapy was retrospectively collected. Patients were assigned to one of the two groups according to the therapeutic modality used: PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor monotherapy group or PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy combination therapy group. Disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated between the two groups. The prognostic effect of the derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) on the outcomes was also evaluated.

resultsFrom April 2017 to October 2019, a total of 84 patients were enrolled in the current study. Twenty-six patients (PD-1 inhibitor,

conclusionThe clinical outcomes of PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy as second-line or later therapy were similar to those of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor alone in advanced NSCLC.
