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

Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC), a rare subtype of non-small cell lung cancer, is highly malignant and has a poor prognosis. Treatments for PSC are presently limited. Traditional treatments provide fewer benefits to PSC patients and are associated with early recurrence and metastasis. Surgical intervention is the preferred option for early-stage PSC patients, whereas chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and other targeted therapies are recommended for advanced PSC patients. Targeted therapy is only effective in a small number of PSC patients. The initial efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors has been acceptable in patients with advanced PSC; therefore, much attention on related biomarkers has been sought. This article aimed to review the research progress of PSC immunotherapy and related diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in recent years.
