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: Despite immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) being widely used to treat patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), few studies examine the role of ICI in patients with proto-oncogene B-Raf, serine/threonine kinase ( Methods: A retrospective study was conducted for patients with Results: The study involved a total of 34 patients with 54 treatments recorded. The median PFS for the whole cohort was 5.8 months and the overall objective response rate (ORR) was 24%. Patients who were treated with ICI combined with chemotherapy reported a median PFS of 12.6 months and an ORR of 44%. Those who were treated with non-ICI therapy came with a median PFS of 5.3 months and an ORR of 14%. Specifically, patients had better clinical benefits with first-line ICI-combined therapy. The PFS was 18.5 months whereas that of non-ICI group was 4.1 months. The ORR was 56% in ICI-combined group and 10% in non-ICI cohort. Conclusions: The findings observed an evidential and significant susceptibility to ICIs combined therapy in patients with
