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: The utilization of the Gustave Roussy Immune Score (GRIm-Score) in patient selection for immunotherapy was initially reported. The objective of this retrospective study is to assess the potential of the GRIm-Score, a novel prognostic score based on nutritional and inflammatory markers, as a prognostic predictor in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) undergoing immunotherapy. Methods: This retrospective study conducted at a single center included 159 patients with SCLC who received immunotherapy. The objective of the study was to investigate potential differences in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) among patients stratified by their GRIm-Score, utilizing the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and the log-rank test. The final independent prognostic factors were identified through both propensity score matching (PSM) analysis and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Results: Our analysis of the 159 patients revealed that there was a significant decrease in both OS and PFS with each increase in the GRIm-Score group, displaying a stepwise pattern. Moreover, even after conducting PSM analysis, the significant associations between the modified three-category risk scale-based GRIm-Score and survival outcomes remained significant. Both the total cohort and PSM cohort were subjected to multivariable analysis, which demonstrated that the three-category risk assessment-based GRIm-Score was a valuable predictor of both OS and PFS. Conclusions: In addition, the GRIm-Score may serve as a valuable and non-invasive prognostic predictor for SCLC patients undergoing PD1/PD-L1 immunotherapy.
