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

Background: Thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) expression in advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been associated with the efficacy of pemetrexed plus platinum chemotherapy. However, the relation between TTF-1 expression and efficacy of the combination of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors plus pemetrexed and platinum chemotherapy, a standard first-line treatment regimen for advanced non-squamous NSCLC, has remained unclear. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated TTF-1 expression in tumor tissue of patients with advanced or recurrent non-squamous NSCLC treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors plus pemetrexed and platinum chemotherapy in the first-line setting. Clinical characteristics and pathological data for each patient were assessed, and progression-free survival (PFS) was evaluated. Bias due to patient background was minimized by application of inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis. Results: A total of 122 patients, 75 (61.5%) of whom were positive for TTF-1 immunostaining in tumor specimens, was included in this multicenter study. At the time of analysis, 89 (73.0%) patients had experienced progression events and 44 (36.1%) had died [median follow-up 14.6 months (range, 0.53-29.5 months)]. PFS was longer for TTF-1-positive patients than for TTF-1-negative patients [median, 12.2 Conclusions: TTF-1 expression in advanced non-squamous NSCLC can serve as a basis for prediction of PFS in patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors plus pemetrexed and platinum chemotherapy in the first-line setting.
