Efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel or combined nab-paclitaxel and immune checkpoint inhibitors in relapsed small-cell lung cancer.

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
Background: Most patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) experience disease progression after first-line chemotherapy. Notably, nab-paclitaxel monotherapy has antitumor activity in relapsed SCLC. Objective: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of combined of nab-paclitaxel and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in relapsed SCLC. Design: We retrospectively analyzed patients with relapsed SCLC who received nab-paclitaxel or combined nab-paclitaxel and ICIs (anti-programmed death-1, PD-1 or anti-programmed cell death 1 ligand, PD-L1) between February 2017 and September 2021. Methods: Efficacy and safety data were collected from electronic health records. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method and a standard log-rank test. Results: We included 56 patients with relapsed SCLC, of which 29 received nab-paclitaxel alone (Group A), and 27 received combined nab-paclitaxel and ICIs (Group B). Baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups. Group B had a numerically higher objective response rate than Group A (40.7% Conclusion: This study indicated that compared with nab-paclitaxel monotherapy, combined nab-paclitaxel and ICIs failed to improve survival in relapsed SCLC.
