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
backgroundProgrammed cell death 1 or programmed cell death ligand 1 inhibitor (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor) and docetaxel, as the standard second-line treatments of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, have limited effects. There are few studies on whether docetaxel combined with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor can increase the efficacy and make patients better benefit. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of docetaxel combined with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor for the second-line treatment of stage IV NSCLC patients.
methodsStage IV NSCLC patients (n=118) who received treatment at Shandong Cancer Hospital between October 1, 2018, and December 31, 2020, were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into observation group (n=69) and control group (n=49) according to different treatment plan. Observation group was given docetaxel plus PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor, while control group was given PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. The clinical curative effect and the incidence of adverse reactions of grade 3 and above were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe disease control rate (DCR) was higher in the observation group (89.9%) than that in the control group (73.5%) (P=0.019), and the objective response rate (ORR) showed no significant difference between observation group (24.6%) and control group (16.3%) (P=0.276). Till June 22, 2021, the 1-year PFS rate showed no difference between observation group (16.5%) and control group (7.7%) (P=0.205). During the treatment period, the adverse reactions of the two groups were mostly grade 1 to 2, and could be tolerated. The incidence of bone marrow suppression in observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the remaining adverse reactions were not statistically different from control group. Cox regression analysis showed that performance status (PS) (P=0.020) and age (P=0.049) were independent prognostic factors for the effect of docetaxel combined with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor.
conclusionsThe second-line treatment with docetaxel plus PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor in patients with stage IV NSCLC can improve the DCR and prolong the PFS, and the adverse reactions are tolerable.
