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.
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
objectiveThe aim of the present work was to investigate the clinical efficacy of first-line chemotherapy regimens in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) through a comprehensive network meta-analysis (NMA).
methodsThe prospective randomized controlled clinical trials relevant to 10 first-line chemotherapy regimens in the treatment of advanced NSCLC were systematic electronic search in the databases of Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library and CNKI. The combined direct or indirect objective response rate (ORR) between each of the 10 first-line chemotherapy regimens was calculated.
resultsSeventeen prospective clinical trials of first-line chemotherapy regimens in treatment of advanced NSCLC were included in the NMA. The 10 treatment regimens including A = cisplatin + gemcitabine, B = carboplatin + gemcitabine, C = gemcitabine, D = carboplatin + paclitaxel, E = paclitaxel + gemcitabine, F = docetaxel + carboplatin, G = gemcitabine + vinorelbine, H = pemetrexed + carboplatin, I = cisplatin + pemetrexed and J = cisplatin + docetaxel were compared in the present NMA. Direct pooled results indicated that the ORR was not statistically different (
conclusionCisplatin + pemetrexed may have particularly prominent ORR for advanced NSCLC as the first-line chemotherapy regimen.
