Effect of body mass index and cholesterol-rich apolipoprotein-B-containing lipoproteins on clinical outcome in NSCLC patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors-based therapy: A retrospective analysis.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectivesObesity and hypercholesterolemia are linked to unfavor clinical outcomes. Recent studies declared the paradox that high body mass index (BMI) and serum cholesterol were independently connected to better clinical outcome of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) monotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of the study is to investigate the prognosis of BMI and serum cholesterol in ICIs-based therapy.
methodsThis is a retrospective study of 95 NSCLC patients treated with ICIs-based therapy at the Department of Oncology and Lung Cancer Center of China-Japan Friendship Hospital. Treatment efficacy was assessed using durable clinical benefit (DCB) versus nondurable benefit (NDB), best response (active vs. nonactive), and progression-free survival (PFS). The prognostic value of BMI, LDL-C, and RC was determined by multivariate regression analyses, while controlling for confounding factors including age, gender, diabetes status, smoking history, and statin usage. BMI was considered a confounding factor in the analysis when examining the impact of lipoproteins.
resultsIn our study, we found that in the whole group, BMI ≥25 kg/m
conclusionsOur study suggest that BMI ≥25 kg/m
