Real-World longitudinal practice patterns in the use of PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors as First-Line therapy in patients with Non-Small cell lung cancer in the United States.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors targeting the programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) and programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) axis (collectively referred to as PD[L]1i) have demonstrated clinical benefits in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The purpose of this United States-based real-world study is to examine changes in the landscape of first-line therapies for NSCLC since the introduction of PD(L)1i.
methodsPatients with NSCLC initiating first-line treatment between May 1, 2017, and October 31, 2020, were identified in the IBM MarketScan® database. Patients were assigned groups based on first-line therapy: PD(L)1i monotherapy, chemotherapy alone, PD(L)1i with chemotherapy, or targeted therapy for patients with actionable driver mutations.
resultsA total of 5431 patients with NSCLC starting first-line treatment were identified: chemotherapy alone 2568 (47%), PD(L)1i with chemotherapy 1364 (25%), PD(L)1i monotherapy 790 (15%), and targeted therapy 709 (13%). The use of PD(L)1i monotherapy and targeted therapy remained consistent, while the percentage of patients receiving PD(L)1i with chemotherapy more than doubled. Over a third of patients in 2019 and 2020 received chemotherapy alone. Patients aged ≥65 years (odds ratio [OR]: 0.80; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.68-0.95), females (OR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.74-0.98), and those with respiratory (OR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.71-0.94) or kidney (OR: 0.56; 95% CI: 0.40-0.77) disease were less likely to have received PD(L)1i with chemotherapy than patients that received chemotherapy alone.
conclusionsSince the approval of PD(L)1i for NSCLC, their use has significantly increased for first-line treatment, especially when used in combination with chemotherapy. A significant proportion of patients received chemotherapy alone.
