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

Objective: Meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic factors in tumor patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) under antibiotic exposure. Method: Literature on the effect of antibiotics on the prognosis of tumor patients receiving ICIs was retrieved from Pubmed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, EBSCO Evidence-Based Medicine Database, China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), and China National Knowledge Network (CNKI), and relevant influencing factors were extracted. Meta-analysis of efficacy was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results: A total of nine studies for 1,677 patients were included. The meta-analysis results showed that, in terms of progression-free survival, gender (male vs. female), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) (1-2 vs. 0), history of another cancer (yes vs. no), liver metastasis (yes vs. no), antibiotics (within the previous 2 months), PD-L1 (1%-49%), and PD-L1 (≥50%) factors are associated with progression-free survival in patients treated with ICIs under antibiotic exposure. In terms of overall survival, gender (male vs. female), ECOG score (1-2 vs. 0), history of another cancer (yes vs. no), brain metastasis (yes vs. no), liver metastasis (yes vs. no), radiation (within the previous 3 months), antibiotics (within the previous 2 months), PD-L1 (1%-49%), and PD-L1 (≥50%) factors are associated with overall survival in patients with antibiotic exposure receiving ICIs for tumor treatment. Conclusion: Gender, ECOG score, history of another cancer, brain metastasis, liver metastasis, radiation (within the previous 3 months), antibiotics (within the previous 2 months), PD-L1 (1%-49%), and PD-L1 (≥50%) were associated with clinical benefit in patients with antibiotic exposure receiving ICIs for tumor treatment. Based on the above-mentioned factors, clinicians can screen cancer patients who receive ICIs under antibiotic exposure and rationally use antibiotics and ICIs in combination.
