Efficacy and safety of perioperative immunotherapy combinations for resectable non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

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
introductionSeveral trials of perioperative immunotherapy for resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) reported positive results. They were designed to adjuvant, neoadjuvant and sandwich (neoadjuvant plus adjuvant) immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy (CT). The differences between neoadjuvant and sandwich modalities were unclear.
methodWe performed a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis by retrieving relevant literature from PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO ICTRP and major international conferences.
resultsWe analyzed 8 studies involving 3429 patients, including 6 neoadjuvant plus adjuvant (Neo-Adj) and 2 neoadjuvant (Neo) trials. Neo-Adj had better event-free survival (EFS) (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.45-0.71) than CT. There existed no difference between Neo-Adj and Neo in EFS (HR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.53-1.46) and overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.38-2.57). Neo might have lower incidence of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) (relative risk [RR] = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.87-1.12) than Neo-Adj. Subgroup analysis of PD-L1 ≥ 50% suggested that EFS of Neo-Adj (HR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.27-0.76) and Neo (HR = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.06-0.89) was better than CT, and Neo-Adj potentially caused shorter EFS than Neo (HR = 1.92, 95% CI: 0.46-7.84).
conclusionsOur results suggest that Neo-Adj and Neo have similar EFS for patients with PD-L1 < 1% or 1-49%. However, patients with PD-L1 ≥ 50% may obtain more EFS benefit from Neo than Neo-Adj. Neo might present a more favorable assessment than Neo-Adj when evaluating OS. Moreover, adding adjuvant immunotherapy may increase toxicity.
