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

Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Oligometastasis has been associated with better prognosis than widespread metastatic disease and may be curable by stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). SBRT can stimulate immunogenic anti-tumor activity, which can be further augmented when combined with immunotherapy, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Thus, its combination with immunotherapy was recognized as a promising treatment option, especially in the metastatic setting. However, the most optimal approach to combine SBRT with immunotherapy remains controversial with early clinical evidence emerging. Here, we review the current clinical evidence supporting the combination of SBRT with immunotherapy in the treatment of metastatic NSCLC. Also, we discuss the current controversies and areas for further exploration associated with this treatment strategy.
