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

The clinical outcome of resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy is good but varies greatly. In addition, the pathological response after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy is significantly associated with survival outcomes. The aim of this retrospective study was to identify which population of patients with locally advanced and oligometastatic NSCLC has a favorable pathological response after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy. NSCLC patients treated with neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy were enrolled between February 2018 and April 2022. Data on clinicopathological features were collected and evaluated. Multiplex immunofluorescence was performed on pre-treatment puncture specimens and surgically resected specimens. In total, 29 patients with stages III and IV locally advanced or oligometastatic NSCLC who received neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy and R0 resection were enrolled. The results showed that 55% (16/29) of patients had a major pathological response (MPR) and 41% (12/29) of patients had a complete pathological response (pCR). In the stroma area of the pre-treatment specimen, the higher infiltration of CD3
