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

backgroundThis study aimed to systematically analyze the effect of a serine/threonine kinase (STK11) mutation (STK11

methodsCandidate articles were identified through a search of relevant literature published on or before April 1, 2023, in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI and Wanfang databases. The extracted and analyzed data included the hazard ratios (HRs) of PFS and OS, the objective response rate (ORR) of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), and the positive rates of PD-L1 expression. The HR of PFS and OS and the merged ratios were calculated using a meta-analysis. The correlation between STK11

resultsFourteen retrospective studies including 4317 patients with NSCLC of whom 605 had STK11

conclusionsPatients with STK11-mutant NSCLC had low PD-L1 expression and ORR to ICIs, and their PFS and OS were worse than patients with STK11
