Immunotherapy or antiangiogenic therapy plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment of patients with PD-L1(-) advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer in a Chinese cohort.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeFor patients with advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), immunotherapy or antiangiogenic therapy combined with pemetrexed and cisplatin/carboplatin have both shown significant efficacy at programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) levels of <1%. Our study aimed to compare two first-line regimens for patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC who were negative for PD-L1.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted comparing the outcomes of patients with advanced PD-L1(-) nonsquamous NSCLC who were treated with antiangiogenic therapy plus chemotherapy (A Group) to those who were treated with anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies plus chemotherapy (mAbs) (B Group). Both regimens were evaluated for progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and side effects.
results114 patients were enrolled in the study, 82 in Group A and 32 in Group B. Those in Group A had a longer median PFS (9.8 vs. 6.7 months, p = 0.025). The OS was also achieved (p = 0.058). No statistically significant difference was seen in ORR (52.4% vs. 50.0%, p = 0.815) or DCR (93.9% vs. 87.5%, p = 0.225) between the two groups. Patients in the A group who did not smoke and did not have specific metastases could benefit from survival. Adverse events (AEs) in both groups were tolerated.
conclusionBevacizumab plus chemotherapy outperformed immunotherapy plus chemotherapy in terms of PFS.
