Drug-induced interstitial lung disease after chemoimmunotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Objectives: The combination of chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (chemo-ICI) has become the new standard of treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Recently, slight changes in interstitial shadows, defined as interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA), have been identified. In patients with ES-SCLC who received chemo-ICI, there are limited data on the incidence of drug-induced interstitial lung disease (D-ILD) in daily practice and the association between the development of D-ILD and ILA in the baseline computed tomography (CT). Materials and methods: A multicenter, retrospective study was conducted to investigate the incidence of D-ILD, the risk factors for developing D-ILD, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) in patients with ES-SCLC who received chemo-ICI between August 2019 and November 2021. Results: This study enrolled 70 patients (median age, 71 years; including 58 men) from nine institutions in Japan. There were 62 patients (89%) treated with carboplatin/etoposide/atezolizumab and 8 patients treated with carboplatin or cisplatin/etoposide/durvalumab. Twenty-nine patients (41.4%) were found to have ILA at baseline CT. Eleven patients (15.7%) developed D-ILD. The proportion of patients with ILA was significantly higher in the group who developed D-ILD than in the group who did not (9/11 (81.8%) vs. 20/59 (33.9%), respectively, P = 0.0057). In addition, the frequency of ground glass attenuation (GGA) and reticulation was higher in patients who developed D-ILD. There was no significant difference in PFS and OS between patients who developed D-ILD and those who did not (median PFS, 8.0 (95% confidence interval (CI), 5.5-9.5) months vs. 5.0 (95% CI, 4.5-5.6) months, respectively, P = 0.11 and median OS, not reached (NR) (95% CI, 8.7-NR) vs. 18.2 (95% CI, 13.2-NR) months, respectively, P = 0.20). Conclusion: The incidence of D-ILD in patients with ES-SCLC who received chemo-ICI in clinical practice was higher than that in clinical trials. Patients with pre-existing ILA were more likely to develop D-ILD.
