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

backgroundHomologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is a biomarker that predicts response to ovarian cancer treatment with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors or breast cancer treatment with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. However, there are few studies on the prognosis of lung cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy using HRD as a biomarker.

methodsWe studied the relationship between HRD status and the effectiveness of first-line ICI-based therapy in EGFR/ALK wild-type metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients (NSCLC) patients.

resultsThis study included 22 treatment naïve NSCLC patients. The HRD score ranged from -26.37 to 92.34, with an average of 24.57. Based on analysis of the progression-free survival (PFS) data from the included NSCLC patients, threshold traversal was carried out. HRD (+) was defined as an HRD score of 31 or higher. Kaplan-Meier PFS survival analysis showed prolonged median PFS (mPFS) in NSCLC patients with HRD (+) versus HRD (-) (N/A vs. 7.0 ms, log-rank p = 0.029; HR 0.20, 95% CI: 0.04-0.96, likelihood-ratio p = 0.03). In patients with PD-L1 TPS ≥50% and HRD score ≥31 (co-status high), the mPFS was temporarily not reached during the follow-up period. In patients with PD-L1 TPS <1% and HRD score <31, the mPFS was 3 ms. Cox regression analysis showed that the hazard ratio of the co-status was 0.14 (95% CI: 0.04-0.54), which was a good prognostic factor, and the prognostic effect of co-status was better than that of HRD score alone.

conclusionThe HRD status can be identified as an independent significance in NSCLC patients treated with first-line ICI-based therapy.
