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

Background: We aimed to assess the value of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) delivered under the situation of controlled or progressed disease during ICI therapy in advanced or recurrent NSCLC. Methods: We retrospectively collected patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC who received SBRT concurrently with ICI in our institution between January 2017 and December 2021. Patients were divided into two groups, including those for whom SBRT was delivered initially or to the residual tumors during the first- or later-line ICI treatment (Group 1), and those for whom SBRT was given to the progressed tumors irrespective of first- or later-line ICI treatment (Group 2). Results: A total of 144 patients were included. With median follow-up duration of 25.6 (range: 3.6 to 56.2) months, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 13.7 (95 % CI: 10.4 to 17.1) months and median overall survival (OS) was 52.8 [95 % CI: 30.6 to not available (NA)] months. In Group 1 (n = 78), median PFS was 17.9 (95 % CI: 14.5 to 29.8) months while median OS was not reached and 5-year OS rate was 61.2 %. In Group 2 (n = 66), median PFS was 8.0 (95 % CI: 6.0 to 13.1) months and median OS was 30.6 (95 % CI: 21.5 to NA) months. Conclusions: SBRT combined with ICI demonstrated favorable survival for advanced or recurrent NSCLC, delivered in a controlled-disease situation as well as to progressed diseases with salvage-intent. Future prospective studies are warranted to investigate the optimal SBRT dose regimen and appropriate combination strategy to synergize ICI.
